OS X Odds & Ends: Vigor128 fix; Modem error in 233 iMac; Thoth 1.4.0 glitch; more

Vigor128 and OS X 10.1 conflict solved Federico Giacanelli writes: "I had the same problem Federico Cortelazzo reported Friday. I found that reinstalling the driver fixed the problem. (See today's Utilities Updates for a newer version of the driver.) Before installing the new driver, I ran the uninstall script with root privileges."

Modem error fix Jarlath Hughes writes: My iMac 233 failed to connect after updating to 10.1. After experimenting a bit I found that the modem script titled 'Nifty - Apple Internal 56K Modem' worked very well. It's in the Modem popup menu in the Modem tab of Network System Preferences. Jeff Stocki confirms this solution as well.

Thoth 1.4.0 glitch Red Green writes: "Whenever I try to type anything at all -- for example, when I reply to a message, or post a new message -- Thoth immediately quits. The program's author suggested turning off the 'Show Truncated Text Tags' option (under Article List Options and Extracting Binaries)."

PowerDomain PCMCIA card wake from sleep crash Michel Scriban found that his PowerBook G3 (FireWire) with 10.1 would crash when awakened from sleep if the PowerDomain SCSI 1480 PCMCIA card was installed.

Restoring Network Location settings Frederick Wedler writes: "I decided to perform a clean install of X and the 10.1 update. I backed up my HD under OS 9 and then restored all my files and settings when the install was complete. Everything came back nicely (and my weirdness was gone) except for the Location settings for the Network preferences panel. After much tedious searching, I finally found the file where these settings are stored. It is in: /var/db/SystemConfiguration/preferences.xml. Since the< var directory is not visible in the Finder, one must restore the file as root from the command line."

Error copying files with long file names to 9.2 machine? Simon Spence writes: "I kept getting an error code -37 each time I tried to copy a file to another computer via Airport using AppleTalk. My computer has Mac OS X; the computer I am trying to send the file to has OS 9.2.1 The problem was the length of the filename. Anytime a filename has three dots in it due to its length, it will not copy across to the Mac with OS 9.2 and an error is reported. Once you delete some of the characters from the filename and make it small enough that the dots disappear, copying is okay."

AppleWorks 6 printing fix John Covele writes: "I AppleWorks 6 (under Mac OS X) problem where the Page Setup dialog's paper size is set to A4 and the scaling is a huge number like 1200%. When you correct these values, the page disappears. Not only are the values in the Page Setup screwed up, the values in the Document settings window are messed up, too. The margins are bigger than the paper size, so this translates into a blank page! Fix the margins, and you fix the printing problem."
