Mac OS X: Restart Classic Environment After Force Quitting Classic Outlook Express or Internet Explorer

Symptom

Classic application programs stop responding or "freeze" after you force quit Outlook Express or Internet Explorer in the Classic environment.


Note: This issue does not affect the Mac OS X-native version of Internet Explorer installed in your Mac OS X Applications folder.

Solution

1. Save any work that you have open.
2. Restart the Classic environment by doing one of the following:
• Click Restart in the Classic preference pane. This only restarts the Classic environment. It does not restart the computer.
• Log out, then log back in.
• Restart the computer.
