Title: Why does SnoopDOS crash?
Post by: Jettah on December 14, 2004, 02:38:13 PM

Hi,

In another thread I've been asked to use SnoopDOS, but since it only makes my system crash, I've got a burning question:

WHY MAKES SNOOPDOS MY COMPUTER CRASH ALL THE TIME?

A1200 OS3.9 SnoopDOS V3.8

Regards,

Jettah

N.b.: Before you blurt it out I'll do it myself: Use SnoopDOS to find out... :-P

Perhaps you can use cyberguard or enforcer to find that out? ;-).

try to delete the Env-Archive:SnoopDos.prefs and reboot.

I know that could be boring but, to see why SnoopDos doesnt works, you should run .  . . SnoopDos before :-(

or this sort of:

Try reinstalling it from a good, known archive.

@All

I've got version 3.0, 3.4, 3.7 and 3.8 installed. They all startup perfectly, but as soon as it is *Snooping* an application, it produces a few lines (some 20 maybe) of output and then goes AWOL. Therefore output is directed to RAM: in ordere to keep the disk(s) validated (imagine a crash during a disk write... JAKKES!).

Any more ideas?

Regards,

Jettah

Something must be wrong in your system. SnoopDos 3.8 is so slim and old that it can't crash really :-P

Try removing some patches, i.e. VisualPrefs, MCP, MagicMenu, Executive etc.
