    AppleWorks has never been available for legal download.

     

    Have you done the usual trouble shooting steps:

     

    Quit AppleWorks

     

    Delete most or all of the Recent Items list.

     

    Remove the Preferences files to the Desktop or to the Trash.

     

    Launch AppleWorks to see if the problems remain.

     

    You'll find Recent Items in:

     

    username > Documents > AppleWorks User Documents > Starting Points > Recent Items

     

    There are several preferences files.

     

    Go to:

     

    username > Library > Preferences

     

    Locate, select and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist

     

    Still in the Preferences floder, locate and open the folder AppleWorks.

     

    Select and delete the two Cache files and the Preferences file.

     

    Button Bars is also a preferences file, but may be left where it is IF you have no problems that appear related to the Button Bar, and wish to preserve any changes you've made to the Button Bar.

     

    Regards,

    Barry

    AppleWorks is not available for download for free anywhere legally. Why do you think you need a new copy? Do you not have the original CD to reinstall?

     

    It's hard to guess at what is happening from your description.

     

    Are you really using OS X 10.4.1? If you are, you should update to 10.4.11 from this page if you have a G4 or G5 iMac. If you have an Intel iMac, go to this page. What version of AppleWorks 6 are you using? You should be using at least 6.2.4. The only updater available for AppleWorks is 6.2.9 from this page. If you are using the North American English version, click the blue "download" button. Otherwise, click the link for the language you have installed.

     

    What are you doing when it shuts down? What type of AppleWorks document are you using? Are you able to do anything?
