Q: AppleWorks - not opening

I use AppleWorks 6 (okay, I'm a dinosaur - but it works for me).  Recently, I kept getting this message and it wouldn't open: The application AppleWorks could not be launced because of a shared library error. <AppleWorks><MW_MSL.PPC.Shib><InterfaceLib><>  I have no idea what all that means!  Can anyone help me to fix?

    Thank you so much for this speedy reply, Peggy.  I did everything I was told and on the last attempt to duplicate the folder and trash the orignal - it seems to have worked!  AppleWorks is now opening for me!.  It looks slightly different in the ****, and when I open it it tells me I am opening it for the first time every time, but the programme seems to be working!  I am using a 17" MacBook Pro from 2008 runnning 10.6.8 and I would have loved to have been able to use a new MacAir - but that wouldn't run AppleWorks at all.  I just love the programme - it works so well for what I want to do.  Thank you so much for your Help.
