[QUOTE="Towbar, post: 260999, member: 21173"] Hi guys i need a little help here I have just converted to Mac from windows I have used a Windows sytem for the last 12 years and even tested M$ Vista which i now know is a OS X rip off. I have just recently picked up a G4 Duel processor machine complete with 20" monitor and OS X Panther 10.3 from my cousin. The system from what i've seen is cool but for some reason my brain seems stuck in windows mode. i can not install some software from the CD nor can i get certain DMG files to load I've seen the sticky about common problems and followed the instructions without any joy. I've also followed the Go/utilities/installer and again No joy. The trouble i have is that i don't have any re-install disks (stupid i know) but the price was too good to say No. I'm obviously missing something can someone please point me in the right direction of a tut or something i can do to see if a need a total re-install. I've also seen that panther 10.3 and tiger 10.4 is only compatabile with my machine if upgraded from OS 9.0 which i don't have :doctor: All i need are pointers i don't expect to be spoon fed :headphone Thank you all for taking time to read this post [/QUOTE]
