Classic will not launch

[abulafia]

From OX10.3, classic will no more launch. The status window opens, the statusbar starts – an stops – and the spinning beach-ball-wheel starts . . . . .

I have reinstalled OS 9.2.2, but no changes.
Are there an "start upp classic.app" in OSX?

Thanks from Norway!

Thanks. I have read the apple support articles carefully, but they are not helpful to my problem.
Top of the start up window says "Classic starts with OS9 app folder . . ."

In the Classic PrefPane, do you have Extensions Turned off in the Advanced Tab?
Have you tried Rebuilding the Desktop from there?

Have you checked Software Update to see if anything is available for Classic?

1) I have tryed Extensions Turned off, but the manager does not apperar (nothing happends)
2) I have Rebuilded the Desktop twice! I have reset PRAM
3) No Software Update available.
Something wrong with OSX?

Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility in your Utility folder.

Run FSCK;

To run fsck, you first need to start up your Mac in single-user mode. Here's how:

1. Restart your Mac.

2. Immediately press and hold the Command and "S" keys.

You'll see a bunch of text begin scrolling on your screen. In a few more seconds, you'll see the Unix command line prompt (#).

You're now in single-user mode.

Now that you're at the # prompt, here's how to run fsck:

1. Type: "fsck -y" (that's fsck-space-minus-y).
(If you're running Panther, v 10.3, then type this "fsck -f"

2. Press Return.

The fsck utility will blast some text onto your screen. If there's damage to your disk, you'll see a message that says:

***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****

If you see this message--and this is extremely important-- repeat running fsck. It is normal to have to run fsck more than once -- the first run's repairs often uncover additional problems..

When fsck finally reports that no problems were found, and the # prompt reappears:

3. Type: "reboot" to restart,

or type "exit" to start up without rebooting.

4. Press Return.

Your Mac should proceed to start up normally to the login window or the Finder.

I ran the Disk Utility.app. (without Unix) There where LOTs of "errors". After the fix., everything is OK. So I learned a lot. Thanks from Norway!
