I had the same problem with a copy downloaded by an associate.

During the download process, some of the names were slightly changed.  It
seems that Cap'n does not check for failure on some of his I/O.  You end up
getting trash on your screen.  My Mac seemed wedged until I invoked the
crash-saver.

Try peeking at the documents that come with CM.  One gives the names of all
files included in the posting.  Adjust names accordingly.
