TOPIC
I have installed Mac OS 8, and now when I start up my computer, there is an extension loading with a red X through it. Doesn't that usually means the extension did not load? I have discovered this extension is the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler. Some of my applications say they require this extension to be installed. They seem to work fine, even though the enabler is marked out. Is something wrong?
DISCUSSION Version 4.0 of the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler has been included in the System resources of Mac OS 8. You do not need to include the separate CFM-68K Runtime Enabler in the Extensions folder. By marking it with a red X, system software is indicating the extension is not necessary and therefore not loading. Your applications should work correctly, since the system software contains the software already. Some applications may not realize that Mac OS 8 included this extension, and may install the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler during installation. In any event, you may throw the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler in the Trash after installing Mac OS 8. |
