For about the past two weeks, I have been getting error messages saying that �The application [insert application or control panel name] could not be opened because an unexpected error occurred (-2,817)� whenever I have been using the Mac for a while and then try to open a new application. I have been fixing it by restarting the Mac, but that is not an acceptable solution, especially because the problem reoccurs after an hour or so.
Does anyone know what�s up with this and/or know how to fix it for good?
The setup is a dual-USB iceBook (2001) running system 9.2.2 with 640MB RAM. The HD has 18.63 GB of space of which 14.81 GB is being used and 3.81 GB is available.
Thanks.

I'm a bit too lazy to pull out my old Mac troubleshooting tomes. Is there any reason in particular why you're running OS 9 on a perfectly OS X capable machine?

Sounds like a disk error to me. I think all the Norton haters live in the Mac OS X forums... so I'd usually run Norton on the disk. If you don't own a Norton, try booting from a Mac OS 9 install CD and running Disk Repair, hopefully you'll find some good stuff.
