TOPIC

    During startup, while extensions are loading, I get a dialog box with a bomb reading: "Code Fragment Could Not Be Prepared". When I start up with extensions off, I get an error dialog saying: "Finder could not start because the following libraries could not be found: ObjectSupportLib".


DISCUSSION

    This is being reported by customers having recently installed additional software, which might have been the cause of the error, but the behaviour can rarely be duplicated. The condition has been found to indicate that some system software files have been damaged or corrupted, thus the code fragment manager (cfm) reports the error.

    If you are still using the system software that was pre-installed, the best course of action is to perform a "Restore In Place" from the Software Restore CD. This will overwrite all affected files.

    If you have upgraded your Mac OS software to a level above the pre-installed version, the best course of action would be to perform an update install to have the Mac OS system software refreshed.
