I'm trying to save a simple AppleScript as an application (double-clickable script or "applet"). I want to be able to launch my script automatically on login. However, when I "Save as..." an "Application" instead of a compiled script then launch it, I keep getting this error: "The application untitled has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected."

The compiled script works fine from "Script Editor". Even something I thought would surely work crashes if launched as an application. Here's the script:

tell application "Finder"
activate
end tell

What am I missing? I thought I remember doing this in OS 9 easily enough. Any suggestions?

---

Update: I get the same results when trying to launch applets from Apple's AppleScript site.

Let me guess. You've installed Toast Titanium P2 and have placed the ToastVideoCDSupport.component in /Library/QuickTime ?

If so, take that file out of your Library directory. It's probably what's causing your problems.

...incredible! That was it. Thank you, I would never have solved that by myself. How did you make that association?
