Im running 10.3.2 and when I try to launch classic I get this error message



There is a problem updating the classic specific files-

classic was unable to update its files in "system folder"on "OS 9"



Ive tried repairing permissions to os 9 and rebuilding the desktop for 9 under 10.3 but no luck, any suggestions?

    I am having the same problem as well. Classic just wont start. Apple is cutting corners on the QA side.

    Thats not surprising...The last thing I did was to reisntall OS 9.2 and that still didnt help..same error message, Im thinking that when I installed 10.3, it wasnt able to "update" the classic file on my OS 9 partition from the get go. So I have a bad feeling Ill have to reinstall 10.3 and see if it will fix the error. Ugh, which takes so damn long...waiting..etc but not until I here more suggestions from the people.

    I just re-installed a DP800. 10.3.2 was installled first then I threw on OS9 as an afterthought. All went well.

    I simply dragged over the system folder from an old HD with 9.2.2 on it.

    Updated fine. Just an anoying message re quicktime version in OS 9.
