Hi, Rudolf,
You say you bought a new Mac Mini, but are using 10.5.8. Did you downgrade
from Snow Leopard? New Macs, whenever you buy them, aren't designed to run
anything earlier than the systems with which they come, so I wonder whether
that is somehow related. Or did you mean that you it was "new" a while back?
*If* that's the case, you might want to try installing Snow Leopard on the
machine and trying to run AppleWorks again.
Cheers,
