3. Install Crescendo G4/NuBus – If you have a Power Macintosh

7100 or 8100 with an AV or HPV card along with the AV/HPV Card
Video Adapter Kit, install it first; otherwise, install the Crescendo
G4/NuBus into your computer’s PDS slot.

4. Rerun the Mac OS 9 Install Application – The Mac OS 9 Install

application will only install AltiVec libraries into your System
Folder if a G4 processor is present in your computer during the
Mac OS installation process. As a result, you will need to rerun the
installer to install the AltiVec libraries. Use the hard drive where
Mac OS 9 is installed. Insert the Mac OS 9 CD into your CD-ROM
drive and double click the Mac OS Install application. Proceed
through the next several screens until you reach the Install Software
window. Click the Customize button. In the Custom Installation and
Removal
window deselect all software components except for Mac
OS 9. Click the pop-up menu to the right of Mac OS 9 and change
the “Recommended Installation” to “Customized installation.”
The Select Mac OS 9 Features to Install window will appear shortly.
Change “Recommended Installation” to “None” from the pop-up
menu. Click the Core System Software check box (it should be the
only check box with a checkmark). Click OK, Start, then Continue
to complete the installation.

Adobe Photoshop 5.5 – Adobe Photoshop 5.5 is the earliest Photoshop
version that supports Adobe AltiVec Plug-ins. The Crescendo G4/NuBus
fully supports these Plug-ins. The Adobe AltiVec Plug-ins are not
included on the Photoshop 5.5 CD, however. They must be down-
loaded from the Adobe website. At this printing, the AltiVec
Plug-ins can be downloaded at
