QD 13 - Application Freezes on Startup with WorldScript I v7.1 (1-July-95)
Q We're having a problem with LaserWriter 8.3 which causes our app to freeze on
startup. When we first installed LaserWriter 8.3 everything worked properly.
However, when we attempted to install WorldScript I v7.1 onto a Quadra 650 the
problem occurred. What's going on here?
A The latest 7.5.1 WorldScript I requires updated script systems, and you should
not install it unless you get these all from the same system. The Developer CD
is currently the only source for these files. LaserWriter 8.3 is not compatible
with older WorldScript I, because it requires 7.5.1.
The best solution is to perform a clean install of 7.5, install the 7.5.1
upgrade, install LaserWriter 8.3, and then test it. After confirming that this
configuration works, install WorldScript I 7.5.1, the compatible script
resources, and the power adaptor (if you have a PPC). It is best to get them
all from the Developer CD (there is a 7.5 Arabic system with WS 7.5.1 on the
CD).
