@ henber This is weird. Did the message not appear with the older SheepShaver version? If you only replaced the SheepShaver application and continued with the same disk image(s) and the same ROM, the system should not behave differently. But sheepshaver says that it cannot find the ColorpickerLib......

Do you use an older build of SheepShaver, like the May 2006 snapshot by Gwenole Beauchesne? Those older builds have many problems with the shared folder, like files becoming invisible, files loosing icons and more. In the latest july 21 2008 build, those problems are solved and the shared folder ('U...

Better do not try a memory setting higher than 512 MB. SheepShaver will not launch and if you use the latest build with built-in preferences editor, you will then need the stand-alone Prefs Editor to access the settings. SheepShaver for MacOSX should run fine with memory settings of 512 MB and below...

I'm assuming it's a problem with the game, not SheepShaver. Although the game mentions it works on 9.0, and specifically says it won't work on 9.1, is it possible that it also doesn't work on 9.0.4? If an application runs in 9.0 on a real hardware Mac, that does not imply that it will run also in 9...

Updating the hard disk drivers does not take hours, it usually does not even take seconds. It seems there is a problem with the volume (the disk image) used to install the system onto.

How did you create that disk image?

These errors affect a minority of Leopard users and are still not understood. So far, applying the latest Combo updater has been the solution for most, though not all, cases of the "File Exists" variant. These errors affect a minority of Leopard users and are still not understood.

Well, a folder will appear on the desktop if you place it on the desktop. Exactly how are you trying to add the program?...

Depends on whether operating system, file system and the software involved (SheepShaver) each can handle files that size. Apparently no problem in your configuration.

At present, no programmer is working on SheepShaver, Gwenole Beauchesne has suspended further development of SheepShavers, so no changes are to be expected soon (or ever). BTW: I don't think you told us which application is causing problems. You refer to it as "WISYWIG" ("WYSIWYG"...

Option-click works fine here. Command-click does indeed not work, but it does not work in earlier builds by Gwenole Beauchesne either. Must be something in the source. Nothing I can do about it, I only built from source.
