QuickTake 150 and Power mac G3 (beige mini tower)

hello there I have an apple QuickTake 150 but I don't have the software on the floppies. How ever I was able to download them. This is when I hit trouble. when I start to install the software it will select the proper stuff then it stops and says "there is a newer foriegn acces file is present. do you want to keep the newer one or install an older one" so I click newer. then it says "the plugin QuickTime power plug can't be replaced. the installation will stop" then it will ask me to insert floppy disk 2. but I don't have the disk. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?!?!

"the plugin QuickTime power plug can't be replaced.

You have solved the problem of newer Vs older "Foreign File Access" ( a sub-extension of the Apple CD driver used to read ISO, High Sierra, PhotoCD, and other foreign file formats).

You have moved on -- to a clash in versions of QuickTime Extensions. The version of the "QuickTime Power Plug" extension is different from the one the Installer wants to Install. In addition, It is possible the extesnion on your Hard Drive is locked. To handle the error and Quit, it want to go back to diskette 2. If you can resolve the error, it is possible it will shut up about diskette 2.

the solution to my problem was to move all of the QuickTime extensions from the extesions folder. Then I downloaded all of the QuickTake floppy disk images and opened the installer. from there several popups popped up. to get passed this click continue. the installation then proceeded without asking for any other floppies.

I'm working on the same thing as you. I did a fresh install of 9.2 and downloaded the Quicktake 150 software. I also had to dump all the Quicktime extensions before installing. My problem is that when I start up the Photoflash software and try to run the script to get the images from the camera, it says there is an error reading the script. Got any suggestions on that?

thanks

the solution to this is to look for the Quicktime powerplug, and quicktime extension. remove these ,and install the software. Then again remove the quicktime and powerplug extensions from the system folder and place quicktime 6.0.3 extensions in place of the quicktime 2.0 extensions.
