Hey Group, Thanks to Anna for responding. My problem actually turned out to be a corrupted System file, discovered by resedit's "Verify" command. The thng resource was corrupted. I had hacked the system file with resedit to install iTunes 1.1, but only the vers resource, certainly not the thng resource. Evidently, I did NOT replace the hacked file with a "clean" backup when the attempted iTunes install didn't work out. Since then I have used a downloaded patch to install iTunes 1.1 and it seems to work ok.
Oh well. Thanks for the help. Now if this happens again, I don't know what to do! It still doesn't explain why IE 5.0 or 5.1 slows down to a crawl then a crash, or why Netscape 4.73 loses functionality over a short period of use... While I have a captive audience, has anyone gotten iTunes 2.x to work with 8.6, and how did you do it? I've been avoiding iTunes because of the OS 9 restriction and recently just got severely irritated enough with all the other garbageware alternates to atttempt a hack. The iTunes patch I eventually used is "iTunes Mac OS 8 patch �-� 1.1.3" from http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=10036&db=mac My first attempt by simply changing the vers resource of my system worked for the install, but other programs didn't work correctly so I ditched, I thought, my hacked system file. The patch is only supposed to be for vers 1.1 of iTunes. Does anything similar exist for using newer versions of iTunes, or is there a list of needed lib files/instructions on the web for newer versions of iTunes to work with 8.6?
