Why does "Find Next" in AW 6.2.9 stop working?

Hi,
I've been using ClarisWorks 4.0v6 database for many years (OS 7.6.1).
I migrated them to AppleWorks 6.2.9 (OS 10.4.11, G4).
They're ordinary postal mailing lists.
However, *within 5 minutes to 2 hours, the "Find Next" function stops responding.*
Sometimes the vertical ribbon bar also greys.
When I Save As in ASCII, the vertical ribbon bar is grey, so that I can't scroll through the document and inspect it in that format.
I never lose data, don't crash, and Disk Utility has never shown a problem, but have to quit AW to restore basic functionality.
It's maddening!
It also happens when I open the AW database as v6.2.8 in Classic Mode.
I have unchecked the Recent Items, as previous posts have recommended.
I regularly trash the Starting Points/Recent Items and other folders, as recommended.
The G4 is otherwise completely stable in all applications.
I'm on the verge of going back to OS 7 just for database work.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated!
Bob

It's clear that something is corrupted in your system.
The described functions behaves flawlessly here on my machines since year 200 year of first delivery of AppleWorks 6.
Try to run the program from an other user account.
If it behave well you will know that the culprit is in your original user account.
If it doesn't you will know that the culprit is in the shared ppart of the system.
Knowing that, you will be able to search the culprit amoung thousands of files.
Uncheck the Recent Items box is perfectly useless because given an old bug AppleWorks doesn't take care of its status and always generate these aliases.

    The 13" retina MBP has two fans, left and right near the hinge and about 2.5" each from the edges of the case.
    My conjecture is that one of the fans may be failing.  An appointment at an Apple store genius bar is the best option.  The evaluation will be FREE and a fan replacement (if that is the problem) should not break the bank account.
    You might run an Apple Hardware Test:

    This may confirm my suspicion or perhaps find a different problem. Note that an error free result should not be viewed as being definitive.

  • Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

    I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

    In what way is Firefox slow?
    Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
    What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

  • HT2463 Why does my apple tv play one song then stops streaming?

    Why does my apple tv play one song then stops streaming?

    Make sure all of your songs have a checkmark next to the song title. There are small blue boxes that need to be checked for songs to play consecutively.
    If the library is unchecked, you can easily recheck things by clicking on a song, going to the top line selecting Edit>Select All, then right clicking on the selection and choosing "Check Selection".

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Why does my iPad continuously closes from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

    My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

    The above comment is not helpful to me, and I'm also guessing many people, but who knows. I've seen the same recommendation in many, many threads on this same topic, but only once have I seen that the resolution solved the problem for anyone, unless those people didn't follow up. Anyway,I found the below comment which made sense and may be the source of the issue. Too many apps running in the background - turn them off or simply do a hard reset to kill them all at once.

    Apparently, ios closes apps it can't (or thinks it can't) run because of too few RAM available. Double-press the home button and close any still running apps in the background. There are apps that serve to clear up some of your RAM. You will need to do this every once in a while, though.
    Clearing disk space will also help - remove any files you don't need/use and try to keep a clean disc in overall.

    Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Of if easier for you, take receipt and iPhone, box and everything and return to where you bought it.
