Example:
set SystemEvents to (((path to startup disk) as string) & "System:Library:CoreServices:System Events.app")
tell application SystemEvents to get every process

The error it issues is:
"System Events got an error: Application isn't running"

I should think so too! What a lot of fuss.

tell app "System Events" to get processes


And: tell application "Finder" to get every process
doesn't work either, despite that was a bug in the earlier release, and which Chris said would be eliminated by upgrading. Now everything is broken with 10.2

What the hell shall I do?

Switch to Windows 95? If this doesn't work:

tell app "Finder" to get processes

then you must have something very wrong in your set-up.

Restart with command-s held down and when you get to the sh prompt, type

fsck -y

When all the checks (and repairs) are done, type

reboot

at the sh prompt.

If that doesn't solve it, reinstall Windows 95.
