Title: MagicWB still around?
Post by: TheBilgeRat on May 27, 2010, 03:17:42 PM
I notice that their website hasn't been updated since 1998.  The reason I ask is the 2000 I just got has their MagicWB installed and it is hollering at me to register.

Umm, yes and no. You can get a 2.0R version here:

R= registered I think...

Thanks!  I am thinking I would like to uninstall, but evidently that involves rewriting everything with Workbench 3.x and starting over.  Something I can't do ATM as I only have it installed on the HD and not on floppy. :madashell:

Well you can try it. I did a re-install of the 2.0r version and it has / does everything but, still I get a nagware requester upon boot up.

I think you have to completely remove all signs of MWB and then do the install. If it finds and past install, it may not work as 'registered'

I still experimenting...

Make sure you delete MagicWB fron ENVARC and delete the MagicWB Daemon from user-startup. Then re-install. Make sure you have on hand any '060 libs if you try to reinstall workbench on your computer!

I am not finding an ENVARC folder or know where the Amiga stores its daemons.  I deleted the MagicWB folder and Icon and am now tracking anything down that is MagicWB related in DH0 and DH1

EDIT:  Found a MagicWB-Demon in C.  Its buh bye.  Is that the one you were referring to?

Thanks!  That actually did the trick-I deleted all sorts of anything that said MagicWB through DiskMaster and then reinstalled that version.  No more complaints from the software.  The icons look alright.  Now I has to figure out how to install the new version of diskmaster.  Was going to go with Dopus 4.16 but it wants 68020+ and I'm just running the stock 68000/1Mchip/2Mfast :)

Great. I helped somebody! Let it be written in the Amiga.org history books. About an alternative to Dopus4.16, try out "Ordering v1.18 (http://m68k.aminet.net/util/dir/Ordering_v1.18.lha)", this works great on lower spec systems that will live in the NTSC universe.
