OpenGL Problem

Hi, Expressive -

Which version of OS 9 are you using on that machine?

Hi, Expressive Indigo -

...and then to 9.2

OS 9.2.1 or OS 9.2.2?

What are the version numbers of the several OpenGL extensions in the Extensions folder?

Hi, Expressive Indigo -

If you have not yet changed the View for the Extensions folder to View as List, do so - you can make that change in the View menu while that folder is the active one. You may then need to stretch the folder's window a bit to the right to see the column headed Version - that column will display the version number for each item in the Extensions folder.

Note that in List view you can change the width or the Left-Right order of each of the columns by dragging on the divide between the title for each column, or the title of the column itself.

If by chance there is no column titled Version, you can add that by going to View Options in the View menu and checkmarking the Version item.

Hi, Expressive Indigo -

As I stated in my last post -

"If by chance there is no column titled Version, you can add that by going to View Options in the View menu and checkmarking the Version item. "

Hi, Expressive Indigo -

OK.

You did not state which operating system version you are using, OS 9.2.1 or OS 9.2.2 (since there is no version OS 9.2 applicable to any model except the original G4 QuickSilvers, that version can not be on your machine). However, the version numbers for the OpenGL extensions are correct for OS 9.2.2 - there is no later version available.

Make sure that both Apple Guide and QuickDraw 3D are enabled in Extensions Manager.

Make sure that the file Text Encoding Converter is present in the Extensions folder (it does not appear in Extensions Manager), that the folder named Text Encodings (loose in the System Folder) contains exactly 15 files (no more, no less), and that Text Encoding Converter and the 15 files in the Text Encodings folder are all version 1.6.

Hi, Expressive Indigo -

Did some checking, which I perhaps should have done before rather than assuming you'd checked KiGB's requirements and hence it's applicability for your machine.

According to MacUpdate's listing for KiGB it requires OSX 10.4 or later.

My first clue to that was noting that the download link for it on Richard Bammister's page for KiGB notes that its filename ends with .dmg - this explicitly calls it out as an OSX item, since .dmg files are created by OSX's version of Disk Copy.

It will not run in OS 9 (any version).

Hi, Expressive Indigo -

Good - I looked for, but did not find, a link for the older versions of KiGB. Which version did you download from that site?

The file in question is not named Text Extension. As I noted before, it is named Text Encoding Converter.
