Re: System 8.6 and Error # -42, Too many files open
Has anyone else seen this or a similar problem with System 8.6?:
I was running system 8.5, on a B&W G3 Tower, without ever seeing the above
error.
Since the System update installer available from Apple on the web does not
provide for a clean install option, I did a clean install of System 8.5
from my CD, then updated to system 8.6, and finally used Conflict Catcher
(8.05) to do a clean system merge from my old system folder.
Now I am intermittently, but frequently getting System error -42, Too many
files open, after which I have to reboot to get things back to normal.
Besides the system errors, some programs like Illustrator & Photoshop are
also generating error messages that tell me I have too many files open; so
it is a consistent problem. This was not happening under 8.51, generally
doing the same things with the same number of files that I have open now.
Because it is an intermittent problem, it is difficult to do a conflict
test to see if it might be one of the old extensions.
Any ideas?
