Hey guys I got a ibook g4, I installed darwine, I tried running MSN Messenger 7.0 "it says it works" and it doesn't work I just get an error saying it didn't worry and has closed. I tried utorrent, same deal, then I went to the darwine folder and went into applications and tried clocks.exe and that didn't work either. Help me out? Thanks

You have a Power PC Mac. You can investigate the status of Darwine for the PowerPC on the Darwine web page which is hosted on Sourceforge. As a note: I do have a PowerPC Mac, and recommend Mac based replacement programs for MSN Messenger and uTorrent. They do exist. James McKenzie
