I have an application which requires the use of 24 hour time, so each time I use it, I go into the General cdev under the Control Panel and change the time to the 24 hour clock. However, each time I do it now, I get a message saying, "Sorry, the Control Panel cannot get a needed resource," and the operation fails. This is driving me nuts, since the application brings up the Control Panel every time I try to do anything in it with the clock set to 12 hours. I'm running a Plus with 1 Meg, System Tools 6.0.4, with the following INITs and cdevs, although the problem still occurs with all of them turned off: init cdev 2.0 SCSI-Accel-r0w0s6 CPS TagFix CPSDeleteTracking DiskTop.INIT OnCue 1.3 SFVol INIT 1.5 Suitcase 1.2.5 DA Menuz (hierDA) 0.9984 MacEnvy SCSI Probe 2.01 SuperClock! 3.6 Vaccine 1.01 Boomerang 2.0B9 101-Keys (Datadesk keyboard) The problem was intermittent, but is occuring consistently now, under Finder (my usual environment) and MultiFinder, with all INITs on and off; nothing I do seems to make any difference. Help! Ralph Brandi ralph@lzfme.att.com -- Ralph Brandi ralph@lzfme.att.com att!lzfme!ralph Work flows toward the competent until they are submerged.

Boy, I hate when I find out what a problem was that I spent a lot of time trying to fix and it turns out to be something simple and stupid. My father locked the System file; once it was unlocked, there was no problem. AUGH! I thought that the time stuff was stored in Parameter RAM? Anyone know why the System file being locked would make a difference? -- Ralph Brandi ralph@lzfme.att.com att!lzfme!ralph Work flows toward the competent until they are submerged.
