Whenever
I use certain applications, I see
the following error message: The
application has unexpectedly quit,
because an update to this software
is required for compatibility with
the improved Mac OS file system |
| In
order to modernize the Mac OS's
foundations, Apple greatly
increased the number of files that
can be open from 348 in Mac OS 8
to 8169 in Mac OS 9. The total
number of open files includes many
files used by the system, such as
fonts, and files used by
applications, such as documents,
and so forth. |

Is it necessary to select a startup disk from
within the Startup Disk control
panel |
| Power Macintosh computers that use the ROM-in-RAM
(otherwise known as New World)
architecture, such as the Power
Mac G4 or PowerBook (FireWire),
will take longer to start up
unless the drive that contains the
active system folder and the Mac
OS ROM file is selected in the
Startup Disk control panel. |

I
have read that my hard drive can
become fragmented over time
causing the performance of my
computer to degrade. Should I
frequently defragment my hard
disk?
|
| Fragmentation
occurs when you delete and create
files. For example, suppose you
create three files, then delete
the second one. If you introduce a
fourth file, which is larger than
the size of the second file, the
Macintosh file system may put a
portion of the fourth file in the
space occupied by the second file,
and put the remainder after the
third file. To access the entire
file, therefore, the file system
has to look in two places.

Bitmap
Showcase |
| To
make your bitmap images small
versions of themselves, run
REGEDIT, then click down to
HKEY_CLASSES_Root/Paint.Picture/Default-Icon.
Now, double-click on (Default) in
the right pane and change the
value of Default-Icon to %1. Now
all of your bitmaps will be
represented by icon versions of
themselves in the Explorer. |
