Help! Rosetta programs aren't working

Question

The programs that require rosetta to run are not working at all. The only thing I've done recently is run monolingual, but I didn't think it would have erased anything crucial.
MS Office, fugu, WM player, and a printer driver are the Power PC programs that aren't running. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

OK,
Lets try this now ...
Locate the program you're interested in running.
Lets say for example that you want to execute the TextEdit application by hand.
Switch into the /Applications/TextEdit.app folder.
Open up a terminal, and type:
cd /Applications/TextEdit.app
List the contents:
ls -al
You should see a subfolder called Contents
Switch into that directory:
cd Contents
Finally, you should see another subfolder called MacOS, switch into that:
cd MacOS
You should now be in the following directory:
/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS
if you do a directory listing there (ls -al), you will see the executable binary TextEdit.
To execute this binary, type:
./TextEdit
You should be able to do this with any application -- Try this with your Rosetta Applications (just substitute the Application name with TextEdit) and see what result you get in the terminal window.
Good Luck,
