Put your mouse cursor onto the installer (that's called highlighting it) then press the Apple & i keys. This will bring up a window called the info window. Down the bottom you'll see 2 options in regards to ram. 1st is maximum ram & the other is prefered ram. Increase the size of both of these by what's recommended.

Make sure that you install the last version of Java for os 9 (ignore what they say about 9.2.2 or other): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120209

After installing any softwre on OS9 make sure you rebuild the Desktop file. Do this by restarting the computer whilst holding down the Apple & Option keys until you see a message saying 'Do you wish to rebuild the desktop', click ok for yes.

Here's some other hints: 1. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...8426#post98426 2. A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
