I'd like to thank everyone for their help, I finally got around to messing with the iBook again.

I did what you said Phreakout, but Stuffit still wouldn't open. First Disk Aid said the HDD was alright, tested it twice, once by 9.2.1 CD. I backed EVERYTHING up to a thumbdrive and proceeded to reinstall Mac OS. Initialized the Hard Disk and performed a clean installation, and it works like a charm so far! Thanks so much guys. Little did I know (Netscape Navigator) installed with Mac OS, so i don't have to worry about trying to install it (Although its version 4.5, I don't know if they released any other OS 9 versions after that). It was really easy to back up though, simply drag all the program files to my thumb drive and back to the HDD, and they still work!

The only problem I have is Appleworks 5 (which I had before the reinstall), is when you view the Clipart Library, it won't let you close out the clipart windows once they are open. You have to completely close the program and reopen to get rid of those menus, but thats still pretty minor since I don't really use clipart much. Hopefully it'll work here on out, but thanks again guys for the help so far.
