[CUBE] No Sound and Unexpectedly Quits

Fri Jun 4 08:41:40 PDT 2004

JJ- It sounds like we've experienced the same things with 10.3. I think
you're right in that I should re-install 10.3. Unfortunately, if that
doesn't work I don't have 10.2 to go back to, I jumped straight from 9.2.

As for partitioning,I'm a bit lacking in knowledge. Could you give me an
explanation of what that is, how I could do that if it would benefit my poor
struggling cube?

I'm also going to follow the emails that just started about upgrading
because I have done nothing to mine. And recently I've gone down to only 6Gb
of free HD space out of 28.62Gb (that's what get info says?). And I only
have 384Mb RAM, so I should up that too.

Thank you for your time, your comments have been much appreciated!

Abigail
