You cannot run QuarkXPress on a locked volume. [84]

I'm running X 10.2.4 and trying to open a Quark XPress 4.11 in Classic and I'm getting the following error.

You cannot run QuarkXPress on a locked volume. [84]

I thought it was a permissions thing. I ran Disk Utitlity to repair permissions but I am still getting the error.

I'm using networked home directories and the error happens for every user that isn't an admin. The admins can open it without any problems.
 
Quark IS like that, you cannot do anything about it, it's not a problem with permission or whatever, Quark will NEVER run on a locked volume. check to see if the drive it's on is locked... Or well... I don't know... It isn't on a CD huh? Also, try trashing Quark prefs as they get corrupted quite often...
 
I think the problem cabbage has is that the volume is NOT locked but simply that hes does not have total permissions on the volume.

To run Quark, you must be able to write/read all zones of your disk. When it starts Quark tries to read/write in some special momery areas to check this.
 
I get the same error, with a different number.

Click to expand...

Quark worked as well as it can for months since last re-imaging the drive...
 
Is it running on your boot drive or on an external volume? If it's external, is that drive locked or ignoring ownership?
 
Change the permissions on the Quark application folder so that all users have r/w permission.

In my experience this happens when you install it by copying the Quark application folder to a different drive.
