Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit. 13.

| Install more ram. lol  OSX has its own way of using ram & virtual memory. If you're seeing blank areas on LW's interface whilst LW is 1st opening, that's a Java issue not ram issue. Unfortunately Java 1.4.2 which is the highest version OS 10.3.9 offers isn't up to scratch. Java 1.5 has improvements. Mac's Java is not as good as the versions released by Sun Java for Windows & Linux.As far as disk error goes ... it's probably due to lack of HDD space available. Check how much space is available. |

| I must be a slow typer. I didn't see your last response. Check the other sections of the device for upnp. Try Management. What type of warning do you get? Is it an OSX system warning or LW message? |

| ok, ok, I don't know enough to understand what you have just written... how do I install more ram? where/how do I check how much HDD is available? can I not attribute more space to LW? You're fine - I'm just a bit frantic is all! ;-) am checking mangement now S. |

| I didn't ask you earlier how much free HDD space you have & how much ram. Under apple icon on toolbar, you'll see an option either called About this mac or System profiler. Select it & then select More info ... And that will show you your hardware set up. For most programs, OSX system will give each program as much ram & Virtual memory as they need at a given moment. In most cases there's no way to control this (unlike in OS 9 & earlier.) Virtual Memory (VM) btw is when ram is stored on the hard disk drive (HDD) instead of actively in ram. LW tends to use a lot of VM. |

| not sure where the warning is coming from- will check the next time it appears- but I was running Classic 9 - on which I have my old photoshop - as well as LW on OS X so maybe that did it- ;-) Also, my download window now predicts it's going to take 4 minutes to finish downloading LW.dmg (from the official site - just in case the version I got and paid for has issues - whereas before it was predicting 20 hours!!! Weird!!!! |

| here's the info on the memory..(attached) is that ok? I usually just use my mac for the net and some basic stuff - but then I was spending most of my time in an office... will using LW overcrowd my HDD memory then? any place I can store downloads that will do less damage? |

| Classic mode can use a lot of resources. So it may slow your system down a little. As far as helping goes ... some of us spend many, many hours online. (We're all volunteers! Not enough pay for us!)I have 2 internal HDD's which are all partitioned. I save my downlds on a different partition to the OSX system drive. If you have a 2nd drive then that might be a good move. Otherwise just be careful. BTW you can check how much RAM & VM LW is using by opening the Activity Monitor which is found in the Utilities folder. As for port forwarding. The instructions I have are for windows so I'd need to improvise a little with OSX instructions for setting up a static ip which is required for port forwarding. But it would still be extra helpful if you could find out the model number of the device. I presume it's listed in the 1st section of the info about device. Click on the + sign to open up more options. Also look for UPnP in the routing section. |

| ok, i'm definitely getting the "full start up memory" messages from OSX! not good! here are attachment pics on LW from the activity window as per instructions and memory - not so good huh? seriously, dunno how to partition or whatever, but I NEED my computer to stay with me... please, what can I do? |

| 768 MB ram is ok. I have twice that amount but it was on special at the time I bought my G4. By the looks of your ram type, are you running a G3 or G4 or earlier possibly? What's the speed of your computer? You have 58% idle ram in that image which is quite ok. Perhaps close/force quit the classic environment whilst you're using LW. I've also noticed odd things about starting LW whilst having classic mode running. Yet I'm running Tiger OSX. |

| G4... but things are not good- I've shut Classic 9 and restarted the computer... It now says I have 1.74 GB free on HD! and things are slower believe me! I tried opening the activity monitor again but it just won't - maybe not even enough start up memory to do that left... Plus I have no idea who can sell me more memory here - we've just arrived.... I've also shut down LW for now. Any ideas....? |
