Classic Problems - Please Help!!
« on: December 28, 2005, 07:52:16 PM »
Hi Everyone,

I really need some help with my 1200. I appear to be having some weird boot problems. It has so far manifested it self like this:

1. Computer does its first boot and reboot (OS3.9) but then does not carry on booting. A warm reset does not "clear" the problem.

2. It boots partially into Workbench. 2 of my 4 Partition icons appear (Workbench and Games dont) and the Title bar is shown but computer freezes up.

3. Using my Emergency boot disk gives a similar results to No.2 - but I have the extra floopy & CD Icons displayed.

I have tried using no-startup sequence and have been able to get into the "basic Workbench" that way (I.e. LoadWB & Endcli) a couple of times. All drive Icons are displayed and clicking on the icons causes no problems.

lately however when I plug in the LoadWB command it brings up a requester saying that it cant open 'rx' and freezes up the whole computer.

I can see using Cli that all my Partitions are ok as they display ok under the dir command. I have checked my CPU and Memory with CPU and Avail and they appear to be beiong recognised ok.

Does anyone have any idea why this may be happening?

I havent installed any software lately that would cause this and both my Startup-sequence and user-startup look ok (using ED under no startup sequence)

Thanks,
AmiBoy
