Required Resources Error -192

Lately, I have been getting an unusual number of emails from users who are receiving a "Could not run this script because the required resources were not found. -192" error. According to Apple's Error Numbers and Error Messages: Operating System Errors page, this is an operating system error which "occurs when AppleScript or an application requests services from the Mac OS. They are rare, and more important, there's usually nothing you can do about them in a script." This means that the script can't do much to work around the error. However, I am concerned because I am seeing this error reported much more frequently now than I ever have before.

It also appears that users with Intel Macs are getting the error. The error happens with a wide variety of scripts, many of which have been quite reliable in the past, so it is difficult to pinpoint what the problem may be.

I have posted this query at Macscripter's forum hoping that others may have seen this. If you are getting this error I would be interested in hearing from you.
