I've been trying to get Autogem to operate for me. I've run the BOOTMAKER.PRG and told it which program to load and the screen text which appears tells me it was successful in creating the bootable file. I then copied the AUTOBOOT.PRG into my Auto folder and rebooted my ST (TOS Ver.1.2). The screen text which appears tells me that AUTOGEM is auto starting my specified program and then I am promptly returned to the GEM desktop? My program, which is in the root directory, does not load. I have only one other program in my auto folder (LGSELECT) which loads before Autogem. Anyone have any suggestions? (other than the obvious) Regards: Jim Devonshire, Erin, Ontario, Canada ---

Assuming you've checked the file with a texteditor and its ok, try loading Autogem before LGSELECT, and/or disabling all DA's. I'll setup my system as you've described yours and see if I come across any trouble.
