Appleworks 6 on my G4 Powerbook (Tiger ... all updates) was giving me an error message when it opened (couldn't find a file) but it seemed to run just fine.
But I decided things were not perfect, so I trashed AW6, emptied the trash, and reinstalled. I also discarded appleworks.plist from preferences. I've repaired permissions (twice)
Now, after the reinstall,AW will not open at all! It now gives me an erro message that "The file is locked or already in use." Since I am double clicking the application, not a file, I have NO IDEA what file it is that is blocking the startup. When I click the OK button (No, it is NOT OK!) the application gives me an Unexpected Close.
So, where do I look for a corrupted file? I'd rather like to get AW back up and running.
Thanks
