Anyone out there who knows why Dc-DeskTop 2.0 and Harlekin won't work together? I just bought DC-Desk 2.0 but when Harlekin is installed the computer locks up while booting. If I remove Harlekin everything works OK.

I'm not sure about Harlekin, but I've found various auto folder programs and desk accessories seem to conflict with DC Desktop. I haven't quite tracked down the combinations yet but the symptom is essentially that the Desktop appears, but the mouse pointer doesn't move when you move the mouse, or sometimes it moves in a jerky fashion. Is this what you mean by "locks up"? Arbitrarily removing (or adding!) programs to the auto folder may fix the problem (as though some program had a page boundary problem or something?) -- Andrew Dawson, Computer Centre, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, England.
