Hi I am having trouble with some PD/sharware programs and my mouse. TUZZLE 1988 Armin Daubmann SQUIXX 1986 Michael Kolb DOMINO_2 1987 Mulsoft All of these will start and run but seem unable to read the joystick. Yes..., they do run correctly on a friend's older cpu with a with 1.0 TOS. Uniterm 2.0e from terminator.cc.umich.edu It does everything that it is supposed to with one extra: after using it for a while (especialy moving between many menus/screens/boxes) it will start leaving small boxes (aprox[###]) arround after moving over menu selections, and the mouse will disapear. Am I alone in this?? Other than that a great system. My last complaint: The *#$@ mouse will swap up for down occasionaly after swaping disks (in the short time that the pointer disappears while redrawing a window) I can see no pattern nor is it easy to repeat (it will revert to correct _sometimes_). Is there a patch? My system: 1040 STf (the standard U.S. ST) 1.2 TOS, bought Dec. 89 1 meg, 1 drive, mono, no DA's or ACC's What can be done? are there patches, new versions, or anything else?? how about loading TOS 1.0 into ram(how do I do this(please gime me source not a discription))? please email me...I'll repost summary. thanks.

Is there a patch? This sounds suspiciously like the behaviour of one of the ST viruses that George Woodside has catalogued. As far as I can recall, it's harmless enough, with the exception of the curious mouse behaviour you mention (no flames, please; I know that no virus is _truly_ harmless.) Fetch VKILLER from the panarthea archives and check your disks if you haven't already done so. BBB -- -------- Bob Bright <bright@ccu.umanitoba.ca> Dept. of Philosophy University of Manitoba

I heard a rumour that the Word Perfect disks for the ST in August 1989 contained a virus. I know I have had some problems with WP, while a friend describes his as "rock solid." He tells me that a later version of VKILLER (I believe 2.2) is necessary to identify and remove this virus. --- * Via ProDoor 3.1R

What kind of problems are you talking about. I've been having a lot of problems with my HD since installing Word Perfect (crosslinked files, Duplicate directories, etc.) --- ~ Via ProDoor 3.2aR ~ QNet 2.03: The Crystal Palace * NorthAmeriNet * Toronto (416) 925-5742 *
