For some reason, I now only get the left half of my control panel when I pull it up. I've tried using single-Finder and removing all inits except GateKeeper and GateKeeper Aid. Any guesses what's up? I'm hesitant to remove the GateKeepers unless somebody knows that's the problem... Please e-mail replies to: hellerst@husc4.harvard.edu Thanks much. Joe Hellerstein

I found that even after I removed it and rebooted, the problem stayed around. Finally it just went away (yeah, right...) - I don't recall doing anything special to fix it, but it seemed to fix itself. BTW, how does one get rid of Jclock? -- Jeffrey A.

In fact, the whole intent of the Nothing CDEV (notice the word "CDEV") is to do exactly what you have described. It is intended to be a joke type application. When you open your control panel after installing Nothing and booting your system, if you select "Nothing", the right side of the panel disappears (ie. you GET "nothing"). To get the panel back, you have to select "Nothing" and then "something" such as mouse or General (or was that select "something" and then "Nothing"? I actually forget but it is a sequence thing). Anyway the only problems here are not understanding the application that was meant to be a joke by being a problem (does that make sense? :-) By the way, I have found a PRACTICAL application for Nothing. By selecting Nothing in my control panel, I can prevent my 4 and 5 year olds from mucking up my other "somethings" by removing the control panel views. It's sorta like a combination lock for the control panel! By the way, anybody out there remember the Bob INIT? Another nifty little problem creator! (don't mind me, I have a warped sense of humour anyway :-) Hope this helps guys! -- Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM
