Hi NEOband,

As said by Jase, switch on your Amiga while keeping both mouse buttons held down. This will bring you to the 'Amiga Early Startup Control' screen.

Click on 'Boot With No Startup-Sequence'.

At the next screen to appear type:-

ed S/startup-sequence

and press the ENTER key.

Your startup-sequence should now appear and you will be able to edit it.

Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the cursor up and down the startup-sequence. If you see a line that refers to that game causing the problem, just put a semi-colon ; at the beginning of it to deactivate that line.

Once you've finised making changes you hold down the right mouse button and select 'Save' from the heading titled 'Project at the top left of the screen.

Amigas don't require 3 letter file extensions like PC's do :-)

Oh... The text viewer in Workbench is called MultiView and is found in the drawer called Utilities.

If you still have problems we can tell you how to transfer the startup-sequence from your Workbench floppy disk into the Workbench partition of your hard drive.

Actually, I think you would just boot into your Workbench floppy disk, then go into the drawer called System, double click on the Shell icon to get a command line and type:-

COPY DF0:S/startup-sequence TO DH0:S

An application I would certainly get is DirectoryOpus4 which is a FREE download now :pint:

EDIT - Or just do what amije said while I was typing :-D

Erm..... Well assuming you want your Workbench partition to have the same icon that you have for your Work partition at the moment:-

COPY Work:Disk.info TO Workbench:

(Note that you will need to restart your Amiga to see the changed icon)


EDIT - Or do what amije said while I was typing again :lol:
