Unarc OS 3.9

[Snoozy]

Hmm,

Something seems to be wrong with my unarc tool in Tools drawer on wb OS 3.9

When i double click an lha file to unarc it tells me:

Cannot open "resource.library", version 44. Unable to run "Unarc"

Grrr, i need unarc to work to install MUI 3.8 (which doesn't unpack properly on a pc with winrar)

I tried downloading dropzone but that doesn't seem to work (even after inserting the relevant file in prefs etc)

So any ideas why my unarc is messing me around?

I don't think its a screwed installation as everything else works fine.

I think you're both right , as i was previously installing a lot of web browsing files like amitcp etc.

Anyway i thought about doing the bb1 update but will i need the os 3.9 cd?

There will be 2 problems in that case - one i don't have a cd rom for my 1200, and secondly i bought the 6gb hd from evil-bay with os 3.9 pre-installed.

I see i don't have a file called "classes" in my system, this is bad news

Hi thomas,

thanks for the advice, funny you should mention ClassAct as i was just reading about it.

Does this mean i should delete ClassAct? (i have been trying to use Aweb so maybe this has upset things) Do i actually need ClassAct for anything? And why would it be interfering with unarc?

OK so i have managed to borrow a copy of the OS 3.9 cd

and i am trying to get my current OS3.9 back to being more stable.

At the moment i am unable to copy files on wb, ie drag and drop, i am unable to rename files and i am unable to unarchive files.

Also when wb loads up its says:

Cannot open "resource library" version 44. Unable to run amidock

(similar message to when i try to unarchive an lha file, except it says unable to run unarc)

So i copy the cd3.9 wb onto my cf pcmcia (i don't have a cd-rom)

Which files should i be looking to replace/repair?

I can't perform a re-installation of OS3.9 as i would lose 3gb of data on my hd!

Advice and guidance would be appreciated..

(whdload is still working fine and stable)

hi matt,

i replaced sys:classes files with those from the os3.9 cd, but the problem still persists.

I am wondering if it is safe to replace my 68040 file in libs?

I carried out a bb1 and bb2 manual update (copy and replace via dopus) with pcmcia cf, after help from mfilos and system stability has returned and unarc is back to working

One thing i don't understand is the probs i have installing mui 3.8 which gives me a guru failure 10% of the way into the install.

I would like to install mui but do i need to find a more recent version than 3.8? Is it clashing with OS 3.9 and bb1+bb2?
