Five tips for using application programs effectively

1

Use Power Macintosh applications.

Your computer is compatible with most application programs intended for use with Macintosh
computers, but it’s best to use applications designed especially for Power Macintosh computers.
(Sometimes these applications are marked “Accelerated for Power Macintosh.”)

2

Put only one copy of each application on your hard disk.

Having more than one copy can cause errors.

3

If you experience problems with an application, try reinstalling.

If an application malfunctions consistently, try installing a fresh copy. If that doesn’t help, find out from
the software manufacturer whether your version of the application is compatible with the hardware
and system software you’re using.

4

Don’t install additional System Folders.

Whenever you copy an application disk to your hard disk, be careful not to copy another System
Folder. Your startup disk should only contain one System Folder. Drag any extra System Folders on
your hard disk to the Trash.

5

Use virtual memory if necessary.

If you run out of memory while using Power Macintosh applications, you can use space on your
computer’s hard disk as additional memory (called “virtual memory”). For instructions, choose Mac OS
Guide from the Guide (

h) menu and read the information under “memory” in the Guide’s index.

You can also add more memory to your computer, as described in Chapter 10, “Installing Expansion
Cards and Memory.”
