Question

Xtras folder?

Frequently, I get this error message. First off, I have no idea what the xtras folder is. Second, I need to know what to do to fix whatever is wrong.
Thanks.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.2), PROCESSOR: 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MEMORY: 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Oh. Sorry. Forgot about that.

It says:

Director Player Error

This application requires and Xtra (Havok Physics Scene) that either does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure the appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras folder(s).

I've tried re-installing the Adobe Shockwave thing, but no solution.

Back-up your whole Mac. and delete the Xtras folder. If problems still persist, put the folder back where you found it.

The message refers to that program's folder. Look first in your applications folder. Does that application have its own folder? If so, there should be an xtras folder inside. The message indicates that a component needed is missing from that folder. I have no idea what that might be.

Perhaps you could try reinstalling your OS as that might be the problem.

The application is Safari, and it doesnt have its own folder. Spotlight found nothing with "xtras" in it.

So you are playing back a Shockwave movie it sounds like? Anywway Xtras are what they sound like, things that let Director do more fanncy things. When some makes a DCR when compiling things they need to include the Xtra as part of the compile or it will not be found.

Sorry, I don't really understand you, but it doesn't matter. All I need to know is what I need to do to fix whatever is wrong.
