iMac G3 Mac OS 9 error type-39 Whenever I try to do an install
Posted by: dylan4397 on 2020-11-14 15:21:08
So about a day or two ago I tried installing KidPix deluxe on my iMac. I got the error 39, and thought that maybe it was because the program was on its original CD. After that I downloaded some .SIT files and unstuffed them on the iMac. When I tried to do the installs I got the same error.

I've had this computer for around 2 years and have never had an issue installing things. The iMac is dual booting Mac OS 9.22 and OS X Tiger. I haven't tried the installs in Tiger as the ones I want are only Mac OS 8 or 9 compatible. I'm currently running disk first aid in case hard drive is going bad. Any help is appreciated

Thanks,

Dylan

It just finished running disk first aid and found a BTree issue. I told it to resolve the issue, so I'll see if that changes anything .
