I have one program that needs to run in the classic environment. After installing Tiger on a new HD, every time I try to run this program I get "you do not have OS 9 support installed. I don't want to re-install my OS, I have the Tiger dvd and an old OS 9 install cd- How do I go about installing (and where) OS 9 support?

Thanks

If you don't have the Extra Software disc that contains the Classic installer, the next easiest way is to find another Mac with an OS 9 System Folder and just copy it over to yours.

With Pacifist program I searched the Tiger dvd - I cant seem to find any package that is "classic installer". I have the OS 9 cd where do I install it on OS X to gain classic support?

Forget it - I found the "classic support " on the software restore cd that came with my PB. Thanks...
