Some odd winuae problem with os3.9
« on: October 05, 2009, 05:28:03 PM »
Hello. I installed os 3.9 in winuae, and for some reason the icons are all on grey squares:



I also installed amiga forever, and it does not have this problem. What do I do to fix this? Also, how do I set the workbench as background as default? I go workbench>background, but every reboot it changes back.

Right go to Prefs/Workbench and choose no border.

That doesn't appear to exist. I picked No titlebar, but that also had no effect:


I have two more problems: what am I supposed to use to watch the videos on the 3.9 cd, and how do I set it up to play audio cds? workbench recognizes the disk, but clicking on it has no effect.

The included cd player gives this error: Could not find a CD-ROM drive. Please use the options DOSDEV or DEVICE and UNIT to provide the device to which the CD-ROM drive is connected to.

This is a real pain, and until i scrape the cash together for a sorted 1200 rig from amigakit i'll have to put up with this. any ideas?

That fixed the screwed up icons, Thanks for that.

Do you have any idea about making the workbench set as backdrop default? It keeps going back to being a window every time I reboot the amiga.

Put mouse in top left hand corner of Workbench. Right mouse click and select backdrop.

Then look for the Window menu item and select Snapshot all.

Next time you boot up the window will be gone.

This has absolutely no effect. And you don't need to tell me where the menu bar is and how to use it, I do actually know how to use a computer. However, I am pretty used to operating systems that work the way a sane human would expect.

I've noticed that snapshotting doesn't actually work on this thing for some reason. Probably need to get to the bottom of that first.

The trouble is with quick short questions - you've no idea of the other person knowledge ;-)

It wasn't meant the way you took it.

I've heard of other users having problems with snapshot under emulation but I can't think what the answer was.

Well, bugger. You wouldn't happen to know anything about getting audio cd's to play, would you? PlayCD just pretends that it can't see the drive, and workbench won't open it.

You main problem is that you didn't access the OS 3.9 CD with Amiga CD-ROM drivers during installation, but added it as a harddrive directory. Because of this CD drivers have not been installed or installed incorrectly, some files have not been copied and most of the other files are marked write protected now.

In order to install OS 3.9 correctly, you should first create an emergency disk, then unprotect all files on the emergency disk and adjust the CD drivers to point to the correct CD drive. Then remove the CD drive from the list of harddrives, boot from the emergency disk and access the CD only through the drivers on the emergency disk.

Then you can install OS 3.9 without any problems. And with working CD drivers and sound.

Bye,
Thomas

Right.

How? I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark, and say i'm going to have to use the CLI?

Just reinstalled it, fixed every problem except cd playing. Dunno if this is because windows 7 is an annoying piece of shit that barely can play cds itself, or something on the amiga side I have no idea. Hopefully I can get enough time to scrape off this install of win7 and put good old xp back on soon.

EDIT: I closed winuae then opened it later on, and it reset my saved configuration to something else entirely. WTF.

EDIT2: Now for some reason my AmigaOS cd has a read/write error in winUAE when I click on the installer (i want aweb). Every other file works, wtf.
