You see a message that your application program can’t be opened because a file can’t

be found.

Macintosh programs designed specifically for the PowerPC microprocessor
(also called “native” applications) use special files called “shared libraries.”
Any necessary shared libraries should be installed automatically when you
install these special Macintosh programs.

Follow the directions that came with your program to reinstall it. If the
shared library is still missing, contact the software program’s manufacturer
for assistance.

You experience problems using an older Macintosh program.

Some older Macintosh programs are not completely compatible with
Macintosh computers that have the PowerPC microprocessor.
