Thanks again for your replies!

My problem is that I’m not a Mac user, so I don’t know the basics.

She is using an iMac, looks pretty old… She has 1Gb of memory, Classic says there is not enough and it needs more than 128Mb, so there is obviously some thing screwed up.

If the client runs a G5, there will be a disc that came with the Mac called "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test". Run the "Install additional software" .mpkg and classic will be one of the installed applications.

Will this disc repair things that are wrong at the moment? Is there something similar to the System File Checker in Windows?

You could try going to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and running "Repair Disk Permissions" or just running this in the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)

Code:

sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

I don’t know if that would help any, but hey, I’ve seen non-functioning keys on a keyboard being caused by a bad stick of RAM.

Reinstalling Classic isn’t drastic; reinstalling OS X is.
