Powerbook G4 (DVI) and Retrospect

[weinstock]

I have a brand new TiBook. When I go to use Retrospect (latest version) and select

 

"configure" and "devices" it hangs while looking for the built-in Combo drive.

 

This only happens if I've been doing other things for a while. If I launch retrospect the

 

first thing upon boot it works just fine.

 

 

 

Note that this problem does not show up when I use Apple's disk burner even if the

 

system has been running for a while.

 

 

 

This is under MacOS 9.

It sounds like you may have an extension conflict.

 

 

 

Retrospect 5.0 is a Carbon application which allows it to run on OS 9 as well as OS X. Any Carbon application running on OS 9 requires the CarbonLib extension, in addition to base extensions, to launch and run.

 

 

 

You may have programs on your machine that conflict with CarbonLib or Carbon based applications in general. It is important to update all your programs to ensure best case compatibility.

 

 

 

We currently do not have a list of known extension conflicts. Every system is different, and extensions that have a conflict on one system do not always have a conflict on another system.
