I need help again...

Okay, my problem is that Mac OS X 10.0 does not mount certain things for some reason.

It doesn't mount .DMG files (I load the file and almost instantly after clicking it, it says "could not mount blah blah blah) or mount my PSP to the desktop (it says it fails authentication).

Have you considered upgrading to something more recent?

Try giving the gods a helping hand, the Blah Blah actually means something and may point them to what the actual problem is.

It's an older iMac, so anything new will run slow if at all.

And the "Blah Blah" is just the file name. Sorry for not making myself clear.

You sure about that? I've seen people run stuff as recent as Tiger pretty well on old iMacs.....which iMac is it?

An iMac G3 Bondi Blue; slot loading, 128 MB Ram.

Also, I downloaded an update to update the system to 10.1.5, it came in a .dmg file, and it worked! So, are the files I'm trying to open corrupted? How do I fix these?

Actually I think it's the other way around — almost anything will be faster than 10.0.0! Well at least you went up to 10.1.5. I think you can at least go up to 10.3.9 on any iMac (according to Mactracker), which is a very good OS, much much much much much better than 10.0 or 10.1.

Really?

My Panther disks are really scratched up, so I can't use those.

Yes, OS X seems to get faster with every release. I took my G3 iMac up to Tiger, and it was a lot faster than the 10.1 it started with. Though I don't think Tiger will run on yours, you should still be good with Panther. I would expect 10.0 to be less supported than OS9 for somethings. A lot of stuff has changed under the hood of OS X over the years, and even in the 10.1 days there were a lot of people dropping 10.0 support already, and I thought it all but died by the time 10.2 came around.

Can we have the specifics of the .dmg file?
We know your OS, so maybe what you're trying to mount is not compatible with your OS.

I'm trying to open VMware (don't know what version) and Audacity. Both don't open.

Okay, my Panther disks seem to work great in it. I have a question, though. Will Panther kill my screen again (I killed it before from not updating the firmware)?
