Forgive me if I'm in the wrong newsgroup, but...

Of all the programs for my Apple ][GS which I download, both from this
newgroup and from various anonymous FTP sites, I am only able to
successfully run about 20% of them.  Sometimes I'm thrown into the
Monitor with the machine language instruction "BRK C2", and other times
I get the "Cannon run.  Please try again" screen with the error being
identified as $110A.  The problem with running any program which fails
is almost invariably one of these two.  What am I doing wrong?  I got my
computer a few years ago, soon after the GS model was released, and I
have made no enhancements (such as operating system) since that time
other than getting a memory expansion card (only 256K extra at this
point).

Also, assuming I eventually resolve this problem, can anybody suggest a
good program for a) displaying $C1 graphics screens and b) playing sound
files?  (I know SoundSmith is the usual choice, however I think that my
measly 512K cannot handle it.)
