Mac OS X 10.0: Theater Mode Extension May Prevent Use of Other Applications

Opening a Classic application that uses the Mac OS 9 Theater Mode extension (such as QuickTime Player 4.1.2) may interfere with the use of other Classic applications.
Symptom

Other Classic applications do not open as expected after using a Classic application that calls on the Mac OS 9 Theater Mode extension. QuickTime Player 4.1.2 uses the Theater Mode extension.


Solution

Mac OS X 10.1 resolves this issue. Users of Mac OS X 10.0 to 10.0.4 can use the QuickTime 5 Player included with Mac OS X.

If the issue occurs with a different Classic application, disable the Theater Mode extension using the Extensions Manager control panel in Classic. You must then restart Classic.

Note: The Theater Mode extension is only present on computers that use it.
