Problems using Photo CDs
You insert a Photo CD disc, but its icon doesn’t appear on the Macintosh desktop.
m Reinstall the CD-ROM software (available through the “Multimedia
Software” option in Custom Install when you reinstall system software).
Your computer does not display color icons for individual images on a Photo CD.
m Your computer may be low on memory. To view color icons, restart your
computer and then reopen the Photos folder. See the “Memory” topic area
of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu, for more
information on managing memory.
After you open an image on a Photo CD, the image is scrambled, colors are displayed
incorrectly, or no image appears in the window.
m The program you are using may not be designed to work with large (high-
resolution) image files. You can open the image with another program or
you can assign more memory to the program. (For more information on
managing memory, see the “Memory” topic area of Macintosh Guide,
available in the Guide [h] menu.)
After you open an image on a Photo CD, your system is “frozen” and does not respond
to any input, or you have a “bomb” message on your screen.
m Restart your Macintosh. The program you are using may not be designed
to work with large (high-resolution) image files. You can open the image
with another program, or you can assign more memory to the program (see
the “Memory” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide [h] menu,
for more information on managing memory).
If your computer’s performance decreases
If you notice a decrease in your computer’s speed and general performance
after you add special software like a control panel, system extension, or
custom utility, it may be because this software does not work well with Power
Macintosh computers.
