When I try and run a lha file for extraction I get the following message
Application Request
Cannot open 'resources.library' version 44
Unable to run "sys:Tools/Uarc"
Any ideas?

On OS3.9, if the Setpatch does not initiate correctly then the resource library does not get loaded into memory and you get this error.
This could be that there was a problem with the ROM update or some other reason such as lack of memory or incompatible hardware.
Some hardware needs the SKIPROMUPDATE to be added after SetPatch command.

How do it obtain the SKIPROMUPDATE and how do I add it to the SetPatch command? :-[

Also if your install is defective - missing files in Classes: for instance you get that error. http://www.gregdonner.org/os39faq/installtips.html#20

To expand on zipper's comment, this is a very common error if something has overwritten some of your ReAction classes with older ClassAct ones. Some installers will dump files into SYS:Classes without asking or checking versions, breaking many/most ReAction programs. Copy the correct classes from the 3.9 CD and/or BoingBags.

Yes, experied it at least once.

Here's a novel idea - how about checking if any LIBS:resources.library is present at all?
What does "version LIBS:resources.library file full" say?
-
I'd say: file not found...it's resource.library....
-
That's the deviousness of this error (as it pertains to the scenario I mentioned above): it has nothing to do with resource.library. resource.library can be present and the correct version and you'll still get the error. The actual problem is usually a sloppy install script that overwrote some BOOPSI classes it shouldn't have.

Exactly

I never saw this, and boy have I mixed and matched classact and reaction classes up through the years.
So let's try again - what does "version full file libs:resource.library" say?

Done it, too - some stupid program install overwrote Reaction classes wit ClassAct ones. Some manual checking and fixing needed...
