I've been having two major problems on my Amiga 1000(#!%#) lately and I was hoping to get them solved. Problem#1 is a problem with prefrences. When I change Prefrences to make it go into interlaced mode and then I boot up ,It dosen't go into interlaced mode. Then I checked Prefrences and found out that the on button for interlace was back at off again. Any Ideas about this one? I'm running workbench 1.2(!#%@) with an 80meg harddrive if it helps any. Problem#2 happens when I go to open my second partitions window in workbench. When I double click on the icon it gives me and error of "Ran out of memory. Please free some and try again." This is an exact qoute. I couldn't believe this since I had over 2megs of memory free. I tried taking everything out of memory that I could and it still gave me the same error. These problems are not that major but I would like them fixed. -- ****************************************************************************** * Zach Steele * Famous Last Words: "Only a tiny,tiny,tiny little * * zach@mic.lonestar.org * thing" Dumbell the Fighter. * ******************************************************************************

When you change the preferences, you change the 'devs:system-configuration' file on the hard drive, not the boot floppy. Hope this helps you. >****************************************************************************** >* Zach Steele * Famous Last Words: "Only a tiny,tiny,tiny little * >* zach@mic.lonestar.org * thing" Dumbell the Fighter. * >****************************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay Ward --> jayward@eecs.cs.pdx.edu | if (TrailBlazers > Opponents) " " - Marcel Marceau | TrailBlazerWins++; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then the data written by Preferences are probably stored on your HD, but are still read from your floppy on next boot. So try to copy the file devs/system-configuration from your HD to your boot floppy. >Problem#2 happens when I go to open my second partitions window in workbench. >When I double click on the icon it gives me and error of "Ran out of memory. >Please free some and try again."

If this is only Fast RAM, then you are still stuck with only 256 KB Chip RAM. And this is indeed object to get filled fast. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...

You boot off floppy, and startup-sequence transfers you to the hard disk, which has a copy of C: etc. Preference saves its data in SYS:system-settings or some such thing, but at any rate it starts SYS:. SYS: is HD0: or whatever you call your hard disk. When you boot up, guess what SYS: is. DF0:. You have to manually copy system-settings onto the floppy.

No...all he has to do is set preferences to interlace mode...save it..then re-boot...it will not change the screen to interlace mode even if you use the USE thingy. I just tried that yesterday actually..and had the same problem..it kept switching back to OFF, I simply put it ON, SAVEd, and rebooted and it was in interlace no problem...perhaps a BUG? I dunno.

If this is still under 1.3 (or earlier) then it is normal behaviour. The change to interlace only gets active after next boot. So, for the special case of interlace on these system versions, the USE button is in fact useless :-). -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
