[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1069946, member: 56231"] Firstly, repair permissions again, but use OnyX 1.5.3 from [url=http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english/apps.html]Titanium Software[/url]. I take it that you're trying to open AWks from scratch, rather than opening an existing AW file. If so, it reads like there's been a corruption to the install process. Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling AWks? If no, and you decide to try it, remove [B]ALL[/B] AWks files by using a third-party uninstaller like AppCleaner or AppZapper or CleanApp. Screenshot: it will save as Picture 1, Picture 2 and so on, and the default location is Desktop. Use Cmd-F to search, using the keyword 'Picture'. Can you see the full desktop on the eMac? You shouldn't need to go to a 'folder'. The last Quicktime for Panther is 7.5, but I don't think it's a factor in the AWks scenario. AcRdr 5 is, I believe, the last for Panther, and again, I don't think it's involved in the problem. Do both those apps open and work okay? Last: if the software problems continue, consider using the Panther Disk 1 to boot, and run Disk Utility > First Aid to verify the hard drive. I don't think there's a hardware problem, but it won't hurt to check. [/QUOTE]
