Q: Help Troubleshooting Software Error

Fraction Attraction is Sunburst education software that installs in Classic and must have the software CD in optical drive in order to run.

 

The software installs fine and starts to run, but immediately quits with the following error -

"SetDib(95)failed.newscreen=8screen=3screenname=MAIN "

 

Does anyone know what SetDib means?

or where to look to troubleshoot this issue?

Could it be with QuickTime or some missing plugin?

 

The software runs fine in same OSX10.4.11/Classic install on my PowerPC G5, but not on new install on a PowerBook G4 1.5GHz.

I installed OS the same way - from OSX retail install disc, then updated to 10.4.11, with Classic install from Classic install disc that came with the PowerPC G5.

 

Sunburst software installs into an "f" folder  - Fraction Attraction f (the 'f' is italic).

The only files are .RSC files in a GIL folder within RES folder in application folder.

 

The software CD has the following files -

Alias

Fraction Attraction (application)

Fraction Attraction Help

Fraction Attraction.rsrc

Help Runtime folder

Icon folder

Preferences

RES folder

 

Help Runtime folder contains -

Help On Help

Microsoft Help

Microsoft Help Bookmarks

Microsoft Help Run Time

MSInfo

 

RES folder contains the following folders

DAT - .DAT files

DLL - .RSRC files

GIL - .RSRC files

XWV - .XWV files
