[G4] Jaguar - many apps fail to start - unexpected quit - resolution?

[Steve O'Neill]

I plan to fix my OS9 system, then restart classic.  This machine just 
got a total makeover in the OSX department, Jaguar and new drivers and 
recording software, all of which work (and worked before this) 
flawlessly.  I was amazed at how smoothly the upgrade went, and it all 
seemed to die after I started Classic.  Still, the total time I wasted 
was less than it takes to only install windoze, so I'm not mad at Apple. 
  I will be going very slowly and carefully now, and take better notes.

It's a G4 933 with 768 MB of RAM.  Thanks, though, for the pointer.
