Aug 7, 2011 7:17 PM in response to jaylee64by Peggy,★HelpfulThe most likely cause of your problem is the "Recent Items bug" that 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.
Once you've force quit AppleWorks, there is going to be some corruption of the preferences. Unlike modern apps, AppleWorks has both a plist & a folder of preferences in each user's library. You need to delete the plist & the contents of the folder except for the Button Bar preferences.
