    • Hmmmm... OS X, eh? Well, is there a file menu? Maybe there would be something in there. Otherwise you could run a search to find "General Information" or something along those lines. We run OS 9.1 so I can't help too much - sorry. I want OS X though!

      Oh, and welcome to the boards llegolas :).

      As for the bug, it seems to be in the OS X version of the editor, but not in the OS 9 version. In fact, the OS9 version of the editor runs faster for me in Classic than it does in OS X. (I'm on a B&W; G3/450) Also the pallettes being turned into windows makes it hard to use in OS X. Anyway, despite avoiding using Classic in all possible cases, I prefer to use Classic for Coldstone. (Hope to see a groovy version of the editor for OS X in the coming months. ๐Ÿ™‚ )

    • Darn, I threw out my OS9 version of Coldstone...

      Guess I'll have to download again.

      Thanks for the help guys.

    • It does the same thing in the OS 9 version!

      The error is "Error creating draw buffer" and then it quits. Does anyone know what this means? It must be a setting on my computer thats wrong.

    • Under OS9
      Increase the memory for the coldstone app.
      *Click on the Coldstone Icon
      *Go up to File , click, down to Get Info
      *Select Memory , Let go
      *Set the Minimum Size and Preferred Size to higher numbers
      *Restart computer

      That should work, if not i don't know.

    • You dont need to restart the computer, but that's always a good thing to do ๐Ÿ™‚

      Why look at a window, you just see trough, when you can look at a beatiful apple?

    • Unfortunately, it doesn't fix the bug.
      Thanks anyway.
