Help! I'm having problems with Deluxe Music, Deluxe Paint, and a few others. I am getting software task held errors relating to invalid address, unaligned instruction type errors running these programs for some reason. I have 2.5 Mb of RAM, 70Mb hard drive, GOMF 3.0, AREXX, WSHELL, CONMAN 1.3 running and I keep getting these errors. I just started getting them after a week or so after adding GOMF and WSHELL, has any one else had any problems like this? Any Ideas to try? Thanks for any help.

Do you run it in your startup-sequence or your shell-startup? I've seen it cause programs like DPaint, DMCS, and Director to crash in strange ways on exit. If the problem is SetFont related try to get SetFont 2.5. (I believe you also get source in C++ as a bonus!) Ali Ozer

I have since created another startup-sequence specifically for DPaint and DMCS that doesn't startup AREXX and uses GOMF 2.2, this works, but I still can't figure out why I still get the crashes with my normal startup-sequence. I still have about 350K of chip and 1.4M of fast RAM when trying to run these so I don't think memory is an issue. Any other ideas??? Thanks, Chris rochester!kodak!ektools!barrett barrett@ektools
