Miggy freezes/crashes when clicking icons
« on: August 08, 2006, 09:23:21 PM »
Installed OS3.9 this am.

Hitting problems.

When I click on DH0 it opens, when I click on any icon inside the computer immediately freezes.

When I click on DH1, 2 or CD0: nothing happens, the pointer can move, then freezes and GURU's

Dopus is run at startup, and works fine - I can access any drive, run commands, read/write files, launch programs.

Shell works fine too.

Ideas? Its just icon work that is causing errors.

A4K, WarpEngine 040, C64/3D, X-Surf. All worked fine under OS3.1, have (latest?) 68040, (.lib, new.lib, old.lib) and 68060 libs. What else needs checking?

060 libs as once this is sorted, a Cyberstorm PPC/060 is going in there...

I'll note the Guru error.

Was a 3.1 update.

I cant install anything - when I click on an icon it causes the machine to feeze. Unless there any way of launching installer from the CLI??? (in which case I'll do a whole re-install)

And worked perfectly under the 3.1 installation...
what is interesting is the startup-sequence still shows ver40.x, not v45 (or whatever) that I would expect from OS3.9 startup-sequence.

Could someone PM or email me a copy of their startup-sequence, it is possible that I'm missing something. The installer didnt make a good job of the install.

Now, my disk is *original*, bought from H&P 18months ago. But, it conflicts with the 3.9 FAQ in that it is "warm red", dated 2000, but has the *later* versions of certain libs/devices that apparently shipped with the SE disk. However, it is different to the differnces listed in the FAQ ref the bug-fixed SE disk...!

Solved. Nuked from orbit with a format. Turns out it was the Cybervision software causing the problem, in anything >4 colour screen depth. Installed Picasso96 and the problem went away (although P96 brings a different set of issues to the party...)

But thats the joy with it now. PC's are boring, just plug and go. Work-wise, that is exactly what I want. No loss in productivity.

But in my spare time, tinkering is key. The Amiga is good for that. The joy of getting "new" hardware working...
