I don't think there's much you can do about this one, except run it under
an older version of the system software...

Make sure to use the "HyperCard Player" application that ships on the
CD-ROM to run the Xplora stack -- not any other version of HyperCard. If
necessary, drag and drop the stack on this specific application rather
than double-clicking it.

Hope this helps,
