when i try to open an app. that is os9, it starts the classic mode, but then errors out saying, "You do not have sufficient permissions to run Classic from /System/Library/CoreServices. Please correct permissions and restart Classic." what does that mean? and how do i get into classic from osx?! :(

You might be able to change the permissions from the terminal. I'm not 100% sure if this will correct the problem,but this won't damage anything.

Open your terminal and cd to the directory were the classic app is located. Then enter sudo chmod 755 "Whatever the classic app is called" and hit enter. You will be prompted for your root password. Enter your root password and hit enter.

This should reset the permissions of the classic app to work for root and users. I can't remember what the classic app is called, probably classic.app;)

Good Luck,
