I just bought an A3000 with a C= 1950 multisync monitor on an educational deal. I dragged the multisync icon from the MonitorStore drawer to the Monitors drawer so that I could use productivity modes. When I select either of the productivity modes, save the prefs, and reboot, the system comes up in HiRes (640x200) instead of the resolution I selected (640x480 or 640x960). Can anybody tell me exactly what I am supposed to do in order to use productivity on the 1950. Bob Pomeroy pomeroy@refine.enet.dec.com P.S. (To Dave Haynie:) As you can see, I didn't get a coop job at C=. Thanks for giving me some names to call though.... I am stuck here at Digital using SLOW machines while my 3000 sits home alone all day. )-8

Off the top of my head... It may be that the monitor was not added before IPrefs has read the ScreenMode preferences. Try adding the following to your startup-sequence before the line where IPrefs is fired-up: SYS:System/AddMonitor NUM=3, NAME=multiscan.monitor It may not be the easiest or most elegant solution, but it works. -- Eric Cotton Commodore-Amiga (215) 431-9100 1200 Wilson Drive {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!eric West Chester, PA 19380 "I don't find this stuff amusing anymore."

Make sure the script bit didn't somehow get unset on the monitors you just dragged. Try rebooting, then use the screenmode preferences to make sure that your monitor got added to the list. andy -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.

In the screenmode preferences window there are two options: save and use. Save
saves the preferences to hard disk, use just uses the preferences while the
computer is in use.
