Recovering from an Error Type 41 requires that you replace the Finder application with a fresh copy. To do this, you will need a bootable system software CD-ROM disc, preferably one that includes the system software installer. This type of disc is included in the box with every CD-ROM-equipped Macintosh computer, and is also available separately in retail packages. When an Error Type 41 occurs, you cannot boot the computer without having a startup CD-ROM (or equivalent). Use the newest system software CD-ROM available. Do not use a system software CD-ROM with an older version of the Mac OS operating system than is already installed on your computer. For example, do not use a Mac OS 8.1 CD if your computer has Mac OS 8.5 installed on its hard disk. The system software version on the CD-ROM is typically listed in fine print as "SSW" near the copyright information. You should not drag a copy of the Finder from one startup disk to another. Using a fresh copy installed from the system software CD-ROM is the best way to repair this problem. To recover from an Error Type 41: Start up the Macintosh. Quickly open the CD-ROM drive tray, insert a bootable system software CD-ROM disc, and then close the tray. If the Macintosh screen displays a small, smiling Macintosh or gets the the "Mac OS" startup display before you insert the CD-ROM, you must restart the Macintosh bef

at a user-defined interval, occasionally unexpectedly quits due to an error of Type 41 (or maybe it's -41?). This appears to happen when another app is attempting to do something at the same time, but I can't be sure of that. I've http://www.mac-help.com/threads/9-2-2-what-is-a-type-41-error.129611/ found this to happen a couple times while the screen was blacked out due to being idle for a while, but the system was still running at full power. Anyone know what this error is, what may be causing the problem, and if I can do anything to fix it aside from not running the app?
