hello, i'm new to mac's... i just got a powerbook given to me... os 7.6.1 when i got it it had lots of files on it and a few errors... i used the system restore diskette and then the os disk... it installed perfectly and is working great except for one problem... when you click on a menu... like the menu at the top....it will bring up sub menu's but they won't stay up... you click "File".. it'll show you the submenu... but as soon as you let go of the mouse button,, the menu closes... you have to keep the mouse button pushed down and keep it pulled down... go to the command you want... and when you let go of the mouse... it click's your choice.. it wasn't doing this before the restore.. i've looked all over to see how to correct this problem... any suggestions... thanks... |

The behavior you describe is the normal behavior of System 7. StickyClick is available through the software guide linked at the bottom of the page. Once you have installed this, menus will stay open when clicked. bill

That's the normal function of all Mac OS versions prior to 8. They're called "pull down" menus, as in you pull them down and you have to keep holding the mouse button down. StickyClick is a free utility you can install to give Mac OS 7 the behavior you expect. The previous owner probably had it installed, as there is no way to do that in the base OS.

If you click the "Software Guide" button in the navigation bar at the bottom of the page, you'll find tons of software for Mac OS 7.
