When reinstalling OS 9, did you do it from scratch or did you reinstall over the current installation? Did you reinstall any non-Apple extensions after reinstalling the OS or did you keep it clean? After reinstallation, did you restore any saved preferences that you had for AppleWorks? If you answer yes, no and yes, then I would suggest you restart with the shift key down to boot without loading any extension. Then, go to the Preferences folder in the System Folder and remove any AppleWorks-related file or folder there. In the System Folder, check to see if there would be an AppleWorks-related folder.
