Williams-Sonoma Guide to Good Cooking CD: Freeze/Type 10 Errors

I received the Williams-Sonoma Guide to Good Cooking CD with my iMac computer. To run this CD, I insert the CD and launch the WS Guide application that is pre-installed in my Applications folder on my hard drive. Sometimes when I launch the WS Guide application, my computer will freeze or the WS Guide application will unexpectedly quit with a Type 10 error.

Are Apple and Broderbund aware of this issue? How can I correct this?
Apple and Broderbund are aware of this issue. It is not specific to iMac computers and can occur on any Power Macintosh computer running Mac OS 8.1.

To avoid the issue, either turn off File Sharing before launching the application, or insert the Williams-Sonoma CD only after the computer has finished starting up. Limited testing suggests that this issue may not occur under Mac OS 8.5.
