I need some help getting CarbonLib back. Little opens without it.
In my ext. it is checked but the icon is white (blank). If Idownload any version I can't open it because stuffit needs it too.

Any clues? Thanks in advance. Rick

Download it to another computer and make a CD or put it on a drive. Open it on your machine and drop it in the Ext. folder. Restart.

I tried that too. I used a PC and copied it to a flash drive. Then I tried to open it on the MAC and the icon was white with purple letters "PC". I still needed other CarbonLib ext. to open it. I also tried to do all this on a MAC MINI OS10. Still nothing. I thought the problem was that needed to decompress the file before opening it so I had my sister download it, decompress it, and e-mail it to me decompressed. That didn't work either.
The computer is is 2000 model powermac G4. Is there somewhere in the disks that came with the machine I could get it? Still don't what originally happened.

Thanks for your input.

I see what the problem is now.

That 2000 PowerMac is not running OSX, just OS 9 - correct?

Many of the files in OS 9 stored their data in what is called a reesource fork (Fonts for example), rather than the data fork. Windows does not recorgnise any resource forks, so when you un compress it on a PC and copy it over the resource fork is not copied, hence the file is blank and useless



TRy copying over the disk image file and see if that works
