There was a bug with Applescript 1.5.5, which actually came with OS 9.1, not
9.0 or 9.0.2, so the user must have upgraded to 1.5.5. If the user has
disabled or removed any of the 5 Security Modules from Extensions folder,
then all the Standard Additions are disabled. (It was only supposed to be
'mount volume' hat gets disabled - as pertains in AS 1.6 and later. the bug
is that all the others got disabled too.)
OS 9.0.2 is cruddy and unstable. The user should update to OS 9.2.1 if
possible, which comes with AS 1.6. If not, upgrade to OS 9.1 then AS 1.6. If
for some perverse reason he won't., at least upgrade to AS 1.6 OR, at the
very least, re-enable those security modules in 1.5.5.
In your own case, if you never upgraded AS in OS 9.2.2, you have the very
worst version in existence, v1.7. Upgrade immediately to 1.8.3. (Your user
can probably also upgrade to 1.8.3 if desired.)
