Further to my recent (not so smooth) installation of MAC OS 8.1 on my Performa 5200 (64MB Ram installed), I am experiencing difficulty with MacLinkPLus v 9.0 (comes as standard with OS 8.1). I can't seem to be able to get the translators to work. As per the instructions on disk, I make a copy of the Document Converter and then double click on it. Far from seeing a wide range of conversion options, the following are the only options I get: ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation ClarisWorks Document with MaclinkPlus Translation Movie Player with MaclinkPlus Translation PICT Document wih MaclinkPlus Translation PICT Document with Quicktime Translation RTF Document with MaclinkPlus Translation Simpletext Document with Quicktime Translation Sound with Quicktime Translation Text Document with Quicktime Translation TIFF with MacLinkPlus Translation Yes, 12 options to convert to ClarisWorks Document!! I have checked that all the component part are installed (although the MaclinkPLUS for Easy Open extension is in the Extensions folder it doesnt' appear in the Extensions Manager - why is this?). I have even re-installed MacLinkPLus from the 8.1 CD - all with the same response as above. I am pillung out my hair here - can anyone more knowledgeable than me help? It would be much appreciated.
