I have found what I think is a small bug in the new system. Using my startup screen causes severe problems it seems. Here's what I do: 1) boot machine with a StartupScreen file in the boot volume (system folder). 2) Finder 5.3 acts normal 3) launch Word, no menus appear other than the Apple 4) quit Word (using ^q, Finder either crashes or gets funny horizontal white stripes. This always happens when my StartupScreen is used. It may happen with any StartupScreen, but I have not checked on this. -- Craig McGowan (mcgowan@rochester) Courseware Development Group University of Rochester

Here's what I do: craig doesn't say what version he's using, but I've heard it suggested that even with System 3.2 that Apple is recommending steering clear of startup screens for the time being. -- Joel West (619) 457-9681 CACI, Inc.

It sounds like one of 2 things: 1. your Copy of Word is bad. 2. YOur system file(s) are corrupted in some way, replace them and start over. This is on a 512k Mac with a 20 meg Micah DriveAT installed..new stuff works fine.... Norm Goodger at Bridge Communications....!bridge2!ngg BBS...415-795-8862..Mail to "Sysop"...

We got the system software from compuserve. They now admit that the upload was bad. Sorry about that. -- Craig McGowan University of Rochester
