I had a similar mouse problem yesterday.

Are you running windowblinds?

Works nice. Is this a hack or just a nightly build? I also had to head over to #pearpc to figure out that you need to F10 to toggle full screen mode.

i don't think you're going to get the time to be correct. as i have said before:

one of my friends, who loves macs, and has been using for longer then i know. said that they may have made the time a lot quicker on purpose. OS X's visual effect are time based, so on a fast computer the effects look good in normal time. But in order to make the effects look like right on a machine that is as slow as PearPC they sped the time up.

Don't know if it's true or not, but it makes sense.

ahh F10!! tricky! what about expose?? they should have made it like control-end or something, something that wont screw up expose...

YAY fullscreen :D

Hmm mine seems to have stopped on running installer script.

Got a command sleep stub in the dos box.

I tried moving the mouse but still nowt is happening.:(

[ATLien_0]

u know what would be nice is if we could run os x as a second os and not on top of windows. Like doing dual boot linux and windows except dual boot os x and windows

have patience that will come sometime soon.

[ATLien_0]

i have patience ive only been waiting 4 years and trying everthing possible to get osx to run on windows. I tried Mac On linux but found out it had to be linux ppc. I tried getting osx to run on softmac that ended sadly. I was just about to but a powerbook g4 when this came out

So thank u to pearpc for saving me $3000

and also what exactly does command flush cache stub mean

[ATLien_0]

does pear pc actually use my ram on the motherboard or is it using the hardrive as ram

that's been mentioned in the thread.... a search would suffice... but anyway... it has gone into sleep mode. the install is still going. leave it alone. the screen won't respond... but the setup will soon restart PearPC (exit it) and your install will be done.

does pear pc actually use my ram on the motherboard or is it using the hardrive as ram

it uses the memory available to windows as memory. if you have free ram, windows will give it physical ram. if you don't, then you'll get swap (HD) memory.

crap, i need to get my second HD back in my machine! i wanna test the latest builds! they look interesting :)

Runs just as well as the rest of the system, loading widgets takes as long as it would take to do open the sys. preferences window, but after that smooth sailing :).

Works fine with me ;).
