I'm happy to have helped you 'aka_tom_w'. For the others, here is a more detailed 'how-to' : When file downloaded from Apple site and mounted (should be done automatically), you find on your desktop a disk image containing the install program provided by Apple. The name of this virtual disk is 'NVIDIA driver Update'. Lauch TomeViewer and select menu 'File/Open...'. With the file chooser, go to the desktop, then disk 'NVIDIA driver Update', then folder 'Installer Files', then 'NVIDIA Driver Update' and finally folder 'Installer Files'. Select the file 'Tome' and click 'Open'. A window displaying the 6 driver files should appear. Select all the files (Cmd-a) and click on the upper left icon of the window. Choose the destination folder and click 'All' (if you already have made a copy of your former drivers, you can directly select the 'Extensions' folder of your 'System' folder). That's it. MM

Just in case it helps other people, here is how I've solved messed-up texture problem on my iMac G4 15'' flat screen. It was caused by the nvidia drivers v2.6 I had. I've downloaded v3.0 on Apple site (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120110 ) However, the install program checks if the computer is a PowerMac and refuses to install on an iMac... So, I've downloaded TomeViewer (http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=4561&db=mac ) and used it to manually extract the 6 driver files from the v3.0 dsitribution (file 'Tome' found in 'NVIDIA Driver Update:Installer Files: NVIDIA Driver Update:Installer File'). And finally I've copied those files into the "Extentions" folder of the OS 9 System folder and rebooted. And that's it : I've the new drivers and no more problems with CMBB !! :cool: MM PS : I think you should try this only if your drivers are lower than v3.0 and I advice you to make a copy of your 6 former driver files before, just in case you want to roll back...

Thanks for the various answers. However, this doesn't solve my problems... I don't know how to get 3.0 or 3.5 nVidia drivers, as the only available on Apple site aren't for iMac (test done by the installer that cancel the install). Any idea ? MM

I also have the messed-up texture problem as described in a previous post from "the woodmester". however, the solutions proposed don't work for my iMac G4 : the removing of "Classic RAVE" extension has no effect and the v3.0 of nVidia drivers are only available for PowerMac and not for iMac... Does anyone have an idea ? Does anyone know if the v1.01 patch correct this problem ? Many thanks in advance, MM My config : iMac G4 15'' Flat panel under OS 9.2.2 (french localization) - GeForce 2MX 32 Mo card with v2.5 nVidia drivers
