All Sorted out, with the help of OS4 developers>

Re: Update 3 USB Crashes on launch

Ah that's sorted it, thanks.

Well "sorting it" was disabling USB 2.0 support on my machine, I'm also having some server MUI issues, most MUI apps are failing, had to revert to Update 2 MUI classes, another user having identical issues, so we're trying to get to the bottom of it.

Bummer, but not to worry, it seems their USB2 implementation wasn't really that fast anyway (maybe they are sending all the data over the serial debug as well? ), so maybe you aren't really missing out on anything here? And maybe they will make a 4.1.4 in a few months, who knows...?

I'll be honest, not too fussed about USB, I only use it for mouse/kb.  The MUI issue bothers me more, pretty much every MUI app locks the system up and crashes with the latest MUI for me and Voodoo (another user on AW).

How do you install system "not cleanly"?

A "clean install" usually means a stock install with no third party tools.  So I'm wiping out my system and installing fresh installs this week.

I do not appreciate being personally attacked and my work berated when you don't even use the product in question.

Ssolie and the other OS4 developers and beta-testers were very helpful, as he has said, my (and I suspect the other users with MUI) issues turned out to be a rogue install of some MUI libraries in LIBS:.  It's likely some third party installer that we installed was to blame for this, nothing to do with the os4 team, after removing these I can confirm MUI update 3 works fine.  I suspect we'll hear similar reports from other users with MUI issues tomorrow.

Which classes were responsible, or what program installed those bad classes so we can be aware of it?

It seems there was a version of muimaster.library in LIBS: which the system was defaulting to over the one in MUI:  likely some badly designed program installer put it there.  Not sure which app did it, the files dated from 2005-2008, other mui libraries were in there including drawers for OS 3/4/MOS too inside libs/mui, the files had MagicWB icons too.  Easiest way is just to

delete libs:mui#?
