Appleworks opening failure
#5
Thanks for the suggestions.
I just remembered to run the AW updater.

Nope, THAT didn't fix it either.

Strange!

Here's what I've done:

Drag old AW to trash and emptied the trash.
Drag Appleworks.plist to trash and emptied the trash.
Installed new copy of AW from CD.
Run Repair permissions
Restart the computer
Download and run AW updater
Run Repair permissions
Restart the computer.
swivelled in my chair three times to the left and three times to the right.
clicked my heels together three times (Hey, it worked once with good results)

Whether I double click on a file or on the application directly I get the opening splash screen for a few seconds, then I get the error message, "The file is locked or already in use." When I click on OK, I see the AW menu bar for a couple of seconds, then the application closes with the AW quit unexpectedly box.
