Actually my problem arose several months ago, he sent me the files many weeks ago, I used them over a month ago, and I threw his away after installing. I am all the 'birds_whales' entries you see if you go back in time in this thread.

I think everything I needed was provided by rob1au, though you could check at a site location like: http://www.info.apple.com/support/downloads.html

I upgraded from US 10.2.3 to 10.2.6 and installed the files that Rob recommended/supplied...and finally, after many previous tries, I got into Classic...Yeah! Mark

I did boot using the Jaguar install disk, then used Utility option to run First Aid, and Repair Permissions. Both found several problems and both reported all fixed. I rebooted my internal HD version of 10.2.3, but I again got the same eror message a few seconds after trying to start Classic...

I think I did the repair permissions once before, but I will do it again. I am, however, unable to boot my Disk Utility in my Utility folder. I get an 'unexpected error (1000)' message. The Get Info box on DU indicates it's version 10.2. I have been looking for a version on the Apple site to...

I did see the same problem mentioned on other Mac models in Macintouch (for 10.2.3 and 10.2.5), and in a few other forum places, but never any replies, solutions, etc. Frustrating... Mark

OK, I installed CarbonLib 1.6, Applescript 1.8.3, Authoring Support (1.1.9). I have MRJ 2.2.5 and QT 5.0.2 present. I rebooted into OS X, but still get the exact same message at the same point in loading Classic (about 3-5 seconds in). More ideas?

Ahhh...I had assumed that since I just recently got the OS 9 disk with Jaguar that it would have current versions of these extensions...I just checked 3 or 4 of the ones you listed and they are all earlier versions..nnowwo I am going to work on updating these and keep my fingers crossed...

No, all NA English.

I have the same in my X Sys folder.

Cheryl, There were those three Classic files at the root level of the System Folder..I moved them out, launched Classic (no reboot first), but no change in error message. I will boot into 9 later tonight and try the Software Update suggestion... Based on 9's normal performance when I...

I deleted OS 9.1, leaving only OS 9.2 for Classic use, and then I set the Extensions to 'Mac OS 9 Base All', rebooted, tried a few OS 9 apps, and then as all was working fine, rebooted into OS X, but nothing has changes there...no Classic , same error message. Mark

Hi Cheryl, Thanks for responding..I'd given up hope that anyone had any ideas or suggestions. I do still have two OS 9 system folders on my one HD, in addition to OSX, so I will trash the other here in a second. I already did the Rebuild Desktop option from the Classic system...

bobw, It worked beautifully. Thanks...to all. If the extra Applications folder had still been full, and if I had NOT changed permissions, would this Terminal job still have worked? If not, how about if I had first changed permissions? Mark

Hi dlloyd, I tried option #1 that you offered (1) (Do a get info on the folder and change the privileges to yourself. Then delete it. <---- Hard, but easy to understand what you are doing.) I was able to change the permissions, but it still would not let me delete that Applications folder (see...
