Game does not run well in Classic

On one of my computers, I am still running Panther and OS 9. The only reason for this is that I have an old mahjong (OS 9) game which I like quite much. When I upgraded to Tiger, I also installed Classic and I could run the game, but on certain actions, the game always stuck.
Does this make any sense? Can I install Classic in Tiger in a way that the game will run without any problem?
FYI:
- friends of mine had exactly the same problem with this game when upgrading to Tiger
- I cannot contact the manufacturer of the game. It is Japanese and on their site there is neither an e-mail address nor a fax number (if they would understand English at all).
Thanks for your help.

Classic works... most of the time. Maybe 85-90% of apps have no problems, and most of the ones which have problems also have work-arounds. Unfortunately the ones which have problems and no work-arounds usually have those problems because of a decision made back in basic design, and there is no cure short of re-writing the app from scratch. Which is not going to happen with, for example, a game dating from 1989 whose vendor went out of business in the early 90s, and which was picked up by another vendor, who went out of business in the mid 90s. (Yes, Harpoon, I'm talking about you. It eats 100% of CPU cycles on a 2.1GHz G5 iMac and gigs upon gigs of RAM and then freezes for lack of system resources, when I know that it'll run on a 25MHz IIsi in 17MB RAM because I used to play it on that hardware... Grrr... The 'This game requires 256 colors' screen which pops up forcing me to reduce the colour settings from millions to 256 really irritates, too. Grrr...) But those decisions were taken by others, not by Apple, and usually those decisions directly ignored Apple's advice. (The 256-color pop-up, for example: Apple said that it was okay to check for required colour levels, so long as the required level was the floor; these guys also made it the ceiling which is a no-no. And the concept of 'memory leak' was alien to them. I suspect that there's a reason why they went bust.)

Satellite A100-487: Game does not run properly

My son has an A100 487, running on Windows XP. I recently bought him a game and it loads fine. The game plays for about 15 mins and then closes which returns to my desktop screen and gives an option to send an error report.
It has 1GB of RAM so I am a bit stumped, could this be a graphics problem?
Can anyone advise me and point me in the right direction. all help appreciated

Hi
Please dont be mad at me but I think the hardware seems not to be adequate to run such games.
This notebook supports an 8-128MB shared memory Intel 945GM graphic chip.
In my opinion a such graphic card is not designed to run a high performance games!
But how about the update of graphic card driver?
Sometimes newest graphic drivers could help to run new generation games with low graphic details and performance.
Check the Intel page for updates! If you will be not able to install the graphic driver automatically, then try to install the driver from device manager and assign the driver file source manually.
Good luck

List of games that are not running correctly or does not run in ICS update

I hope to start a list for apps (esp games) that does not run after the ICS update.
Kindly list the game name along with the error. Hopefully its not off topic.

Since many of us having issues with gaming [both HD and Non-HD] after updating to ICS, so i decided to share a little bit of info regarding gaming performance in ICS.
For the gaming troubles we are not yet sure whom to blame? SONY, ICS or the Game developer.
1. Few game developers said that their 3D engine is not yet compatible with ICS.
2. No response from Google yet.
3. Sony was suppose to update their Graphics driver [Adreno] in ICS, so we were expecting better gaming experience, but in reality it declined. [Hoping to solve in 4.0.4, if SONY releases]
Remember Gaming performance and experience can be different depending on device, application version etc. Results stated below may not be same for all.
Few Gaming updates from different users:
# Angry Birds Space : For some it worked/some not working [Worked for me]
# Temple Run : Touch Control issues [ Game Developers said that their 3D engine is not yet compatible with ICS]
# Fruit Ninja: Some reported it lags. The speed of movement is slow.
# Asphalt 6HD : Works but some weird lines appears in the screen.
# NOVA 2 HD : Runs for 2-3 mins then force closes.
# Backstab HD : Runs for 2-3 mins then force closes.
# Dead Space : Working well till now.
# MW3: Working.
# Fifa 12 : Not working for me.
# Shadow Gun: Not Working.
Now it was advised that you must use the latest version of the games available in Google play store. The version worked in Gingerbread may not work in ICS. So it is recommended that you download the latest version of the games you want to play in ICS.
**Before Downloading you can also contact the developers if the games has any compatibility issues with ICS or not.

Kernel does not run on an installation on USB

I installed Arch on USB. When I boot from USB on my machine having Ubuntu, everything goes well on the GRUB step. I see the GRUB messages for
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
which shows that booting process is successful, but the problem should be at (next step)
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
Thus, nothing happens, and the system goes to the next boot device (HDD) to boot Ubuntu.
Of course, in between, I receive the error message of
clean dev/sda
init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging job
but I think these errors belong to Ubuntu. Unfortunately, my BIOS does not allow to disable boot from HDD to better explore that problem at transition between failed boot of Arch to boot from HDD.

Intel Macs will not boot to OS9 natively and Leopard does not have support for Classic (OS9).
As Niel says, you can use Sheepshaver. I haven't used Sheepshaver but I believe it requires a degree of comfort with computers for installation and running. Running pre-OSX software under emulation (even Classic) can be tricky if the software requires certain drivers or access to features at the basic system level.

ICal does not run one event that has a Applescript attached to it. 24u?

I have a number of reoccurring events in iCal that run a Applescript. Tow of them refuses to run. I have tried it as a Applescript and saved it as a run only and neither works (the script run fine if I test them by hand).
so I thought I have a look in the log and found this 24u information.
can anybody help out here? I am not sure why it appears, if it is good or bad, how to fix it and if it is at all realted to my problem. Other scripts seem to run well, it is this one and an other one that do not get activated by iCall.
They run on a MM running 10.6.8, iCall 4.0.4 (1395.7)
Thanks.

Hi,
It looks like the version of 24U's Appearance OSAX you have installed does not run on Lion.
I would contact the developer to see if they have a version that does yet. See http://www.24usoftware.com/AppearanceOSAX
Alternatively you could look to see if the Applescript really needs to use it.
Best wishes
John M
Edit: If you are running Snow Leopard, I think you may need to make the application "iCal Helper" (which you'll find in iCal's application package) run as 32 bit. I'd also suggest you check this with 24U.

Time Machine does not cope well with nearly-full disk

Although Time Machine is supposed to delete old backups when the disk fills up, under some circumstances it does not cope well with a disk-full condition.
Hardware: iMac (mid 2007)
OS: Mac OS X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
The other day I noticed that I had not had a successful Time Machine backup in over a day. Backups were taking a long time to run (4 hours or more), during which time the backup disk was chattering constantly and the disk showed "Estimating index time" in the Spotlight menu (even though I had excluded the disk from Spotlight indexing). When the disk finally stopped chattering, the backup finished with no visible errors but Time Machine continued to state that the last successful backup was yesterday. The backup disk was nearly full, but I had assumed that Time Machine was designed to cope with this situation by deleting old backups.
A complete annotated log file of the incident and my observations can be found here: http://bentopress.com/backup.log.zip
Here are some of the interesting entries from the system.log file:

Sep 7 16:26:15 Bento-iMac com.apple.backupd[56515]: Backup canceled.
Note the "error: 0". Error code zero normally indicates success.
There were also many, many, many copies of the following message, which occurred while Spotlight was trying to index the backup disk:
Sep 7 17:28:40 Bento-iMac com.apple.backupd[58064]: Waiting for index to be ready (100)
Here's what I think is happening: at the very end of the backup, after the files have been copied to the backup disk, mds resets indexing because the disk is now full. backupd's attempt to flush the index to disk then fails because indexing is suspended (error zero), so the backup is canceled. I suspect that this may occur when the new backup and the old one(s) being deleted are both small enough that the disk "packs" tightly, leaving no room for the index. If a large (>500MB) old backup had been deleted to make room for a small (<100MB) new one, the problem would not have occurred.
I worked around the problem by switching Time Machine from the full disk to my Time Capsule. (I did not have this system backing up to the Time Capsule originally because I purchased the Time Capsule later for a different system.) The downside of this is that I lost access to older backups (though they are still accessible by right-clicking on Time Machine in the dock and selecting "Browse other Time Machine disks..."—however, I have not actually tried this). I'm also not completely happy having both my main systems backing up to the same hardware, but everything seems to be working well at this point and I do have a secondary backup system, using SuperDuper to clone the systems' disks to an external HD, which I do about once a month.
Although I have worked around the problem, I am posting this in the hope that it will be useful to someone else, in the hope that someone at Apple will notice and perhaps improve the performance of Time Machine in this situation, and also in the hope that someone can suggest a solution that does not involve throwing a bigger disk at the problem. Is there any way to free up space on Time Machine's backup disk, for example by manually pruning older backups, either through Time Machine itself or via the Finder or command line?

If you suspect that the disk being full is the problem, have you tried deleting some of the old backup data on the TM disk?
When in TM, go back to the past a long way, right click on a file/directory and select "delete backup". Do this on some big files you have (so that you get more space per removal) that you change all the time (so you'll still have recent backups).

Can I get an older release of Firefox? 36.0 does not play well with Windows 7.

Firefox 36.0.4 does not play well with Windows 7. If it opens at all, it freezes within a minute so the screen goes pale and I get the classic spinning circle of death. Then the header says (not responding).
Ideally I would like to drop back to version 32 or 33, but 34 and 35 had fewer problems.
Can I find older versions anywhere?

You can [[Install an older version of Firefox]] any time. But which will cause significant security risk. So If you can't use the latest version of Firefox, we recommend that you use the latest version of another browser.
If the latest version of Firefox is causing problems for you or you just don't like something about it, please give us feedback about it here:
[https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/ Submit your feedback and suggestions about Firefox]
Anyway head for the ftp for older version but please be careful with these: ftp://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Background job in Released status and does not run. What is the problem?

Hi Experts,
I ran a ABAP report as a background job. But when I see the job status in SM37 I found that it is "Released" but the job does not run further, It remains in "Released" state. I have given the correct variant and start condition "immediate" . Moreover there is no spool and log as well.
The ABAP report runs fine in forground. It used to run in background few days back.
What could be the problem? Kindly help!
Thanks
Gopal

Hi Bob,
But I checked after 2 days still the job status is in Released state. There were some other jobs that ran successfully. So atleast after two days I hope the job should have run. I can't even delete it. What shall I do?
Thanks
Gopal

Applescript run from Mail rule does not run

I am attempting to run an Applescript from a Mail rule. Basically, the Applescript does not run.
Stripped to the bare essentials, the following script runs fine when Applying a rule in Mail:
say "Hello"
as well as this one:
say "Hello"
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
tell application "Mail"
-- statements to process each message in theMessages
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
But, when I remove the comments from the block lifted verbatim from the Applescript manual:
say "Hello"
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
tell application "Mail"
-- statements to process each message in theMessages
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
the script does not even say Hello.
I am trying to go as far as having the Applescript create a new ToDo based on specific incoming emails, but I can't get any but the simplest Applescript to run.
Can anyone help me?
Tom

The script works just fine - at least, as designed if not as expected.
When the script runs, Mail and/or AppleScript looks for a perform mail action handler. If that is found, the commands within are executed.
If there is no perform mail action handler then the script is run as-is (i.e. as if you clicked 'Run' in AppleScript Editor).
And that's exactly what's happening here. In the first case (that works) the script is running because there's no (visible) perform mail action handler.
In the second case where it apparently doesn't work, there is a handler, so that handler is being executed. Any code outside that handler is ignored (unless it's called from within the perform mail action handler.
Since your 'say' command is outside the handler, it is ignored. However, if you move it inside the perform mail action handler you'll hear your speech.

Application designer does not run

Hi,
I have different version of Application designer on my laptop (win XP pro).
When I double-click on any pside.exe , it does not run. If I copy the same on another Laptop it runs.
Any idea ?
Thank you.

Thanks Nicolas,
they have worked well until I imported an exported configuration file.
I restarted my PC , but it did not work neither.
Memory issue ? I don't think so but anyway windows says nothing or it says in a logfile that I can not find. Laptop has 3Gb of RAM.
Are we running only one instance of AppDesigner ? Yes .
Regards.

On the internet, some said that it is known as an Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit under Windows... and that the useful linux package is AR81Family-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz for them, but impossible to find on the internet (official site is down, the archive found elsewhere do not uncompress, etc...)
Linux is archlinux x86_64. The kernel driver in use is "atl1c" (on my ASUS eeepc beside, it is atl2 and runs well).
Ok, so:
- 1 read dmesg
- 2 try with another cable (the wire I used is old).
- 3 try with another kernel driver (have to find it)
- 4 send back the computer to be repaired!
Bye

Tobin is right, my apoplication is called "portal", I am not using WLPortal. Anyway,
I managed to resolve my problem,I had sax2 , xp and xt parsers placed in the WEB-INF\lib
directory of my application in addition to my own jar file. I removed the parsers
, and now my application is running fine.
It is strange though, since my application used to load and work flawlessly on
weblogic 6 as well as weblogic 6.1 sp1 with the parsers in the lib directory....
Anyhow, thanks a lot for the help.

Satellite P850-30W - Fan does not run after coming back from sleep mode

I got a Toshiba Satellite P850-30W with bios 1.90.
Sometimes the fan does not run at all after coming back from sleep mode on windows 7.
This has happened twice (maybe more times without me knowing), and Ive had the computers for a month.
Normally the fan starts running when the CPU gets over 50 celsius, and stops under 50 celisus...
I tried running Prime95 when this fan-issue occured and the computer temps got dangerously high (close to 100 degree)! the fan did not start at all
...this error could potentinally damage the laptop...
to get the fan running again I have to restart windows
anyone else experienced this?
I guess the fix would be to never use sleep-mode...or toshiba needs to fix it with a bios update.

What kind of answer do you expect here in user community?
Exact info about the fault? I dont think that somebody would be able to provide exact answer but just speculations
In other Forum you can read about Satellite notebook; but is it exacts the same model?
No, it seems to be an L650 series. Its completely different series .
From my opinion its not software related problem.
BIOS issue?
Well, in case it would be a BIOS issue, the problem would appear always and not sometimes after being shut down 200 times.
It could be a hardware related issue. Memory? Maybe
In my personal opinion to get more details hardware diagnostic software should be used in order check the hardware for possible malfunction. Thats my personal opinion

REPORT DOES NOT RUN CORRECTLY , URGENT PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I am trying to run a report from visul basic screen, but it does not run correctly. Here is how I am running the report. There is a screen developed in VB This screen prompts the user for user id and password. Once it gets that, it connects to the oracle database and pulls out a column from a table. And passes that value as a parameter to the report. Now I am calling the the report for each individual value . There are 21 value being pulled out of the database and it invokes the report 21 times. So there are 21 report engines gets started. Is there a better way to do that ? Secondly when I pass the parameter , some parameters does not pass correctly I guess , because its not generating any out put . Like out of 21 may be 10 or 11 reports gets generated correctly but rest of the reports are blank. I debug the screen i saw that the parameter value is correct, everything seems good. But still the reports are comming blank. Any Idea why it is so ? The command line that i am using in VB screen is
Shell "C:\progra~1\ora95_2\bin\rwrun60.exe P:\Business_Analysis_&_Reporting_Tool\Test_REPORT_Templates\STORE_TYPES\Baby_Distribution_Report.Rdf USERID=" & UID & "/" & PWD & "@cposp201 DESFORMAT=PDF DESTYPE=FILE DESNAME=" & txtPath.Text & Replace(strName, " ", "_") & ".PDF BRND='" & adoRecBrand!Brand & "' PRINTJOB=NO PARAMFORM=NO"
In the above command " adoRecBrand!Brand " is the parameter thats being passed. This is actually a recordset and brand is the column in it. When I debug the screen , I see the value also there. But the report comes out blank. Please help. This is urgent.
Thanks

The way you call reports is not scalable. If you have 100 records come back from database, you would end up launch 100 engines at the same times, which probably will blow up your machine. You should use oracle reports server to do that. You can either use rwcli60 to submit the job to reports server, or invoke rwcgi60 from URL.
I am afraid some of reports engine failed to start and you get nothing back in your case.
After switch to use reports server achitecture, if you still see some report is blank in your application, then you can run that report with that special set of parameters manually and see if any problem with the report itself.
Hope this helps.
