Hello,
I am hoping someone has some ideas for recovering from this as I have hit a wall over the past couple of evenings.
I believe I harmed my happily operating OS3.9 BB2 system
by installing the New Yok newsreader program the other day.
NY was Class Act-based, and that install probably laid down some files or made a config change that gives me symptoms such as:
1) During start-up AmiDock does not start, saying it
cannot open resource.library version 44
2) The WB>Tools Icon Editor also will not launch, giving
the same error
3) If I select an icon and then do 'Icon>Information'
nothing happens.
I found a few posts here and on EAB and the GregDonner FAQ about the resource.library error being related to obsolete classes or gadgets from Class Act interfering with new Reaction functionality. I have sought out and deleted any of the problem files those posts discussed. I am still 'stuck'.
What I have done so far, with no change is:
A: Deleted everything in sys:/classes/gadgets,
then copied the contents of this folder from
the OS3.9 CD onto my drive
B. Removed an assign reference to CAPrefs from
my user-startup
C. Tried to reinstall BoingBag2 -- this starts and
then quits out, and I am assuming this is because
it is already installed.
D. Reinstalled NewYork using the "pretend" mode
and saved the results to a log file to see if
that had any clues. Other than the classes/gadgets
install of several files (which I have deleted)
nothing stood out to my not-so-knowledgeable eye.
I suspect that the NewYork installation added some other file or made another change somewhere that is the root of this issue.
I am going to paste the NewYork log below in hopes someone can see the issue that I cannot. If anyone sees anything there or has another "recovery" idea that I can try, please let me know.
Thank you!
Here is the NewYork install log (this was a reinstall, so
I am not sure if something was already in place from my first install, if it would even show here):
