Q: AppleWorks WP glitch with Snow Leopard.
I just converted to 10.6 and am finding that with the AW word processor, I will be typing along and suddenly the inputting will stop on the screen. It has to catch up to itself. I was told by Apple tech that this is probably due to it not being compatible with the 64 bit conversion. Does anyone know how to correct this? Is there an app for this? I'd like to be able to keep using AppleWorks for a while longer, at least until it becomes totally obsolete. It's a good program. Thanks for any help.

Although AppleWorks becomes more & more "flakey" as you update Mac OS X, it is compatible with Snow Leopard. I think you have run into the "Recent Items bug" & it has been around since AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000. It can make it appear that AppleWorks has frozen or failed to launch. The user tip by Dale Gillard, AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?, explains a lot.
