Finder Crash with RE 5.0

[RichardHuron]

I am a Retrospect newbie who installed for the first time a couple of weeks ago. After installing Retrospect Express 5.0, the finder will crash whenever I try to copy a file via drag and drop. It doesn't matter from where I drag nor to where I drop. All but the smallest files will hang the finder when I try to copy them. Today I uninstalled Retrospect and the problem went away.

 

 

 

Any known conflicts or workarounds? This is on a G4 466 running Mac OS 9.1.

 

 

 

TIA,

 

Richard

There are no known or reported conflicts with copying files in the Finder with Retrospect installed on your system.

 

 

 

Is the program running when this is occuring? Does this happen when Retrospect is _not_ running?

 

 

 

Retrospect 5.0 is a Carbon application which allows it to run on OS 9 as well as OS X. Any Carbon application running on OS 9 requires the CarbonLib extension, in addition to base extensions, to launch and run. With previous versions of Retrospect, no extensions were needed to actually launch the program.

 

 

 

You may have programs on your machine that conflict with CarbonLib or Carbon based applications in general. It is important to update all your programs to ensure best case compatibility.

 

 

 

We currently do not have a list of known extension conflicts. Every system is different, and extensions that have a conflict on one system do not always have a conflict on another system.
