Sleep mode slows typing
MAC G3 with OS9.2.1
Whenever I put the MAC to sleep, when I wake it up, all typing is slowed to about 1 key per second. This is using Netscape, WORD, Simpletext. Only thing that corrects it is RESTART. Any sugestions?

Re: Sleep mode slows typing
Ya, that would be your system heap gone nuts if I remember correctly.
I seem to recall that a utility Called MacOsPurge Would help that.
I am astonished to find it still available:

Re: Sleep mode slows typing
I really wish that had fixed the problem, but, no. Ran it several times.
Any other thoughts? Just another piece of info--- this typing pane blinks every time a character is displayed (about 1 per second).

Why are you running 9.2.1 on the G3 and not 9.2.2 just wondering?

Re: Sleep mode slows typing
After all ... if we were big fans of upgrading would thid forum be necessary?
Keystroke problem remains ...
Keystrokes get buffered, but displayed at 1 per second.

Re: Sleep mode slows typing
Very true, have you tried resetting PRAM? Also, since 9.2.2 is a free update and is optimized for G3's if i remember would that be something worth looking into?

Re: Sleep mode slows typing
Your computer has the classic description of a hangover! In stead of going to sleep it passes out!
I had sleep problems with 9 and a G3 - I used Sleeper by St Clair software to solve them. The G3 doesn't have a real deep sleep so if you can get the screen to go to sleep mode and the disks to spin down you are saving as much energy as possible.
