10.3.9: Classic apps Outlook 2001 and Quark

Outlook 2001 *was* running fine in Classic mode; now it "tries" to launch (ie, you see the icon for a few seconds) but then nothing else happens...never launches.

Quark ( 4 & 5) both launch, but then freeze; this also is new bahavior.

Tried rebuilding System 9 Desktop, but so far no improvement...

Any help will be appreciated...
 
Have you booted directly into OS 9 and rebuild the desktop there? Also you could repair permissions in OS X and that might help your Classic peformance. Then restart; that might help too.
 
And try launching the Apps after booting up in OS9. That will often bring up a useful error message that you won't see in Classic.
 
OK, booted directly into OS 9; 53-minute desktop-rebuild (eek!); launched Outlook 2001 fine and found old accounts BUT not the new one I created recently.

Deleted old accounts, re-created the proper new one, and BINGO, all was fine. Rebooted, worked again...

Rebooted into Tiger...same thang--Outlook 2001 tries to launch, but disappears...

What might be going on?
