Q: appleworks will not launch

I have MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8 running AppleWorks 6. This has been working fine until today when suddenly it will not open. This is also the case for Word and Excel from Office for Mac 2004 and MacJanitor. I have been trying to solve this problem but so far without success. Please could someone help!

Many thanks.

Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Did you use Software Update to install a security update a couple of weeks ago? The initial update "killed" PPC apps which use Rosetta. Run Software Update again to get the 1.1 version of the updater to fix the problem.
