[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1070125, member: 56231"] "Brevity is the soul of wit", but not when it comes to Mac-Forums apparently ;). I don't think you need to do backup and reformat - yet. That's a last resort. Everything else but AWks is okay. My guess about AWks is a missing component, eg. library, but the reinstallation should have solved that. The reason I came in on this topic was that about two years ago I had the same problem with AWks, ie. hanging, couldn't open itself or its files. That was on an eMac using Tiger. OnyX fixed whatever problem it was. I use AWks 6.2.9 on my G3 iMac/Panther, but searching that doesn't really help. Maybe AWUG [url=http://www.awug.org/]AppleWorks Users Group (AWUG), iWork Users Group (iWUG) - Home[/url] could help. Screenshots in Panther are saved to desktop as .pdf. MacOS Help says they should be on the desktop. Why you should need to go to the item and then only will it appear puzzles me. Something in Finder prefs? Maybe delete desktop .plist and then reboot? My fault in pointing you to those uninstallers - sorry. Try AppDelete should you need to.
