I can call up the "Infinite icon loop" error any time I want. I need to 
do the following:

1. Install the "Scrapbook" NDA from SoftDisk GS (either version)
2. Install the "Playful" Finder Extension from GS+
3. Double-Click on a file that has sounds to play.

If I single-click on a file then choose the "Play" selection from the 
"Extras" menu, there's no problem. Double-clicking, however, brings up 
this mysterious message.

Guess who has deactivated "Playful" in his system :-(
