SOLVEDI decided to erase the partition I had OS 9.2.2 on and reinstall the operating system. I only had the OS and one application installed on this partition so doing this wasn’t a big deal. Post reinstallation of the OS and Apple DVD Player 1.3 I'm happy to report I can now watch DVD’s on my Lombard!
Here’s what I did differently that I think solved the problem: I had initially installed
MAC OS 9.2.2 Universal (2013 edition) which I had downloaded from the Macintosh Repository. I noticed in the notes about this edition of OS 9.2.2 it stated:
“If you want a way more successful Mac OS 9.2.2 boot CD, try the Mac OS 9.2.2 universal boot CD (2002 edition).”That got me to wondering if the 2013 edition was somehow the problem? Therefore, for my second installation I used
MAC OS 9.2.2 Universal (2002 edition) which I also downloaded from the Macintosh Repository. This version of the OS worked like a charm! I’m watching DVD’s just fine now. (When booted directly into OS 9.2.2)
Thanks for everyones input, much appreciated!
