Macintosh Basics: Can‘t Open Files in Mac Basics Fldr (8/94)


When I double-click on a file in the Macintosh Basics folder, my Macintosh tells me it can't be opened because it can't find the application program that created it. Why does this happen? Is my Macintosh missing software?

The Macintosh Basics application uses the files in the Macintosh Basics folder only when you are running the Macintosh Basics application. When you not running Macintosh Basics, you don't need to open these files. The files consist of graphics and other items used by the Macintosh Basics application.

The reason why you see the message stated above is that these files were created using an application called MacroMind Director. You probably do not have this application on your hard drive. It is important to note that you do not need MacroMind Director to view these files. These files only need to be viewed when you are running the Macintosh Basics application.
