[iBook] Re: iBook can't run "Classic" programs

[Geoff WALLACE]

Hello Michael,

Delete all the Classic bits, Classic, Classic Support and Classic UI.

Start Classic and you will get the message that the OS needs to install /
update the Classic Components in the System Folder.

Let it do this and see what happens.
