Hi!

I was having some strange happenings� including an error message at startup that the "USB software for the Apple Extended Keyboard could not be found," instructing me to disable said keyboard if I didn't want to see the message again. I don't *have* an extended keyboard, but the Apple Pro that came with my iMac!). I did a clean reinstall of my system (OS 9.1 on iMac Indigo 500MHz). The weirdness continues. My system "lost" my modem script file (iMac 56k. Found it in Previous System Folder� not installed with "regular" 9.1? Yet, installed when I first put 9.1 on this partition with the same system disks. Strange).

Anyway, everything seems to be running fine, but I cannot open my Apple Remote Access control panel. I get an error message telling me that the "application 'Apple Remote Access' cannot be opened because 'AppleGuideGlueLib" cannot be found."

Say what? I don't recall that AppleGuideGlueLib even being present before. . . . Now, I can't open Apple Remote Access from either of my system partitions� I get that same message. My settings have been preserved (see- I'm online!), but it bothers me that I cannot open the Remote Access CP. Remote Access Status opens and works just fine.

Thanks for any suggestions!
(another clean reinstall?!)

something like this happened to me w/9.1.
also needed "appleguidegluelib"...
basically, be sure apple guide is installed & active; apparently 9.1 needs appleguide running (i had removed it in 8.6)

otherwise, some of your need files were in the previous system folder.

hope this helps...
