armjan Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) now haw do i make thsi to work on a Win XP ????? this MAc / Appel OS is way to confusing unfortuanetely i don't think you can install windows on powerpc chips as of now. the new macs after june 06 i believe will have intel chips. that would be a great time to buy one since you can then run windows programs on mac.

Not sure if it'll be that easy. Something tells me that running windows on the Mac is not something that it's "designed" for.... but of course, we'll have to see won't we.

MosJan Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Vavajan haw do you make the mouse corssseerrrrr bigerrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Vava haw do you change the size of the mouse corrser ??? You mean the pointer? I assume you're running OS X, but I don't know which version. If the built in adjustments aren't enough, you might want to try an APE - Application Enhancer. For Panther and above you could try MightyMouse - it installs a supplementary control panel that allow you to change just about ANY setting having to do with your mouse pointer appearance.

You sure it's a Mac? Try PinPoint - it displays a graphic around your mouse pointer so you can 'find' it quicker. Hope that helps mosjan, and if not, I'm sure Sipan can program a script that'll make your mouse pointer come and find you when your lost...
