This is directed to anyone out there using E/A's Deluxe PhotoLab,
specifically the POSTER program.
My config is: vintage Oct '85 A1000, 512K Chip, 2Meg Starboard2, 20Meg
SupraDrive, running all the latest versions of everything.
The problem is: Four out of Four times that I have loaded up the POSTER
program and printed out a poster on my Epson JX80 (color) printer, after
quitting POSTER my DOS goes absolutely nutz. My hard drive is not
recognized, normal DOS commands don't work, etc. etc. Upon normal
warm-reboot, SupraMount won't mount. Try it once, twice, three times, no
go. I have to re-KICKstart my machine to get SupraMount to work again and
mount my hard drive. I can repeat this every single time without failure
to fail. :-/
Other stuff I normally run: FACC with 200 buffers and FACCtion, VirusX
(now running 1.71), a custom keymap (created with SetKey so I can do DOS
commands with my function keys), but really nothing else. My hardware is
all rock-stock out of the box. I don't have ANY other software which
clobbers SupraMount like this.
Before I go yell at E/A, has anyone else had DOS go nutz after printout
with POSTER? I saw one other complaint about this very same thing on a
BBS tonite: a guy had just bought PhotoLab and tried Poster and said DOS
went crazy after he quit the program.
He's ready to go get a refund. I'm ready to start writing a review about
it. Anyone with similar experiences??
