Appleworks 6 not working in OS 10.3.9

[rpeace]

I have Appleworks 6 loaded, but it isn't working anymore. It used to work fine. I have the hard drive partitioned and in OS 9.2.2 it works fine. Help!

Before You Install
Before you begin installation, register your new software and turn off virus protection. You
may also need to update your system software.
Registering Your Software
Register your copy of AppleWorks at the following Web site:
www.apple.com/register
Or complete and mail the product registration card included in your package.
Turning Off Virus Protection
Some virus-protection programs may conflict with the AppleWorks Installer. Before you install
AppleWorks, turn off any virus-protection programs. See the documentation that came with
your virus-protection software for more information.
After you complete the installation, you can turn virus protection back on.
Updating Your System Software if Necessary
If you use certain versions of the Mac OS, Apple recommends that you update your system
software with the appropriate updates:
m
Mac OS 8.0 should be updated to Mac OS 8.1.
m
Mac OS 8.5 or 8.5.1 should be updated to Mac OS 8.6.
m
All versions of Mac OS 9.0 should be updated to Mac OS 9.1 or later.
m
Mac OS X should be updated to the most recent version.
System software updates for Mac OS 8.1, 8.6, and 9.1 are available on the AppleWorks CD. For
information on upgrading to the most recent version of Mac OS X, visit the following Web site:
www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade
Important
If you install AppleWorks 6.1 or later while using a version of the Mac OS earlier
than 9.1, and then upgrade to Mac OS X, you must reinstall AppleWorks.

Installing AppleWorks
You have two options for installing AppleWorks on your hard disk:
m
Easy (complete) installation is recommended. The Installer installs the entire
AppleWorks package.
m
Custom installation lets you choose the files you install.
AppleWorks is installed in a folder named AppleWorks 6. If you have previous versions of
ClarisWorks or AppleWorks, the Installer will not remove any of your existing documents.
Doing an Easy Installation
To install the complete AppleWorks package:
1
Insert the AppleWorks CD-ROM disc into the drive.
A window appears on your screen with two Installer icons. (If you see only the icon for the
CD-ROM disc, double-click the icon.)
2
Double-click the appropriate Installer icon for your country.
3
Click Continue.
4
If you agree to the terms of the Software License Agreement, click Accept.
5
Click Install.
6
Follow the onscreen instructions.
7
Click Continue or Quit.
If you’re installing AppleWorks for the first time,
the installation is complete.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of ClarisWorks or AppleWorks,
continue to the
next step.
8
If you previously created custom stationery (templates), move your stationery documents to
the Templates folder in the Starting Points folder, which is in the AppleWorks 6 folder.
Doing a Custom Installation
To install a subset of the AppleWorks files:
1
Follow steps 1 through 4 in “Doing an Easy Installation,” above.
2
Choose Custom Install from the pop-up menu.
3
Select the items you want to install.
4
Complete the installation by following steps 5 through 8 in “Doing an Easy Installation,” above.
