Classic 9 startup problem . . help please!

[dumb blonde]

Hi,

I need help!
Yesterday I upgraded from Mac Os 10.2 to 10.2.8 since that, everytime I go to start up Classic (9.2.2), it comes up with . . . . "classic needs to update resources in your selected Classic system folder. These changes are needed to run classic . . ." it then gives you the option to update, which I click and then a new box appears with "Resource Update Error . . .an error was encountered while attempting to update your system folder with classic -specific resources. . . ." and the only option they give you then is QUIT . . . thanks!!!!

Please if any one can help it would be really appreciated.

Did you try running all of these: fsck, Disk First Aid, and Repair Permission?

Could be and improper permission setting or a file system error.

They'll be some directions on screen when you boot into single user mode (command-s).

Keep running fsck until you come up with a clean pass.

If that doesn't work, you can alway drag the Classic Support out of the OS 9 System Folder -- There should be a few of them, Classic - Classic Support - Classic Support UI -- just drag them to the Desktop and try restarting Classic.

Hopefully there isn't a slash or a colon character in any drive or Folder Path name on the way to Classic.
