You didn't tell me that you're using a MacBook now. If you are using HC
2.4.1 in combination with the latest SheepSaver version, like me, then
the system version is the only difference. Maybe you should try to
install a different system or a fresh system. I am using 8.5 on my
MacBook (thought it was 8.6, but that's on another machine) and HC 2.4.1
works fine.
