Have you remembered to run the MedConfig tool?

As for your  user-startup file, if the only thing that's been added is an "Assign  Picasso96:" line, you shouldn't worry about it since it only tells where  Picasso96 can find it's files.
If a "Mixer NOGUI QUIET" line has  been added, I will suggest that you disable it. The Mixer has always  been a problem on my setup, and the only way I can get it to work  without crashing, is to use a delay before it gets started. This is done  by running it in my user-startup-LATE script that gets executed from  the regular user-startup. The user-startup-LATE file has a "Wait 10" at  the top.

The MedConfig tool was run when the Mediator software was installed long ago. Should it be re-run every time Picasso96 or Mediator software is updated?

There are some references to deficons and newicons and some other programs in the user-startup (this machine was originally an A4000D donated to our user group)

No, there's no Mixer reference in the user-startup.

I'm not sure if it's really required to to run MedConfig after a software update, but on the other hand, it doesn't hurt doing it either. At least you will be sure that all Mediator settings files is present.

Installing Picasso96 & Mediator software is something I have done only a couple of times, so my memory is a bit vague. It might be possible that Mixer gets copied to the WBStartup drawer instead of being added to user-startup on install. Anyway, I think it will only be copied when software for a pci soundcard is being installed.
