mIf a problem recurs when you are using a particular program, try the following:
m Consult the documentation that came with the program to make sure you are using it correctly.
m Check for multiple copies of the program on your hard disk. Use the Get Info command to check the programs’ version numbers. Keep one copy of the latest version and throw away all other copies.
m Reinstall the program from a known good source (such as the original program disks or the installer disks you made with Floppy Disk Maker).
m Increase the program’s memory. Quit the program, select its icon, choose Get Info from the File menu, and type a larger number in the Preferred Size box.
m Contact the manufacturer or vendor of the program to find out whether the program contains software errors or “bugs” and whether an upgrade is available.
m Check that the program is compatible with System 7.5 (see the program’s documentation, or contact the manufacturer or vendor).
m Make sure your control panels and system software extensions (especially any that you recently added) are compatible with your programs. See Chapter 8.
A program won’t open.
mThe application program may already be open. Check the Applications menu to see what programs are running.
mThere may not be enough memory available to open the program. Quit any programs you’re not using and try again. If that doesn’t work, try restarting the computer.
mIf the program is on a floppy disk, make sure the disk is unlocked. (You unlock a disk by sliding the tab at the corner of the disk so that it covers the hole.)
mThe program may be damaged, or it may not be compatible with PowerPC technology. Check to make sure the software is PowerPC compatible, and install it from a known good source (such as the original program disks).
mContact the manufacturer or vendor of the program to see if the program is compatible with System 7.5.
