Okay, since there are only two M2 shapes patches right now , I’ll assume you’re asking about M1. There seems to be a problem with the shapes patchers on some PCI macs (7500s and 8500s for sure). Workaround: Open the shapes patch with Resedit, and copy the .256 resource. Open your Shapes file (or preferably a copy of it) and paste. (Answer YES, not UNIQUE in the resulting dialog.) This works for MSE patches, and Shape Shuttle patches. Rescompare patches are harder… you’ll need to find a machine that doesn’t crash, install the patch there, then move the patched file back to your PCI mac.
