Anybody seen/understand this? On a Mac ][, running the new finder and system, I can boot into the finder just fine. But when I set the startup to multifinder, it crashes into macsbug everytime. Oddly enough, while running finder, I can manually start multifinder with no problem. I'm running with the following: 1mb, 256 color, fkey(popup) manager, macsbug (mac ][ -- 1mb). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chris Schmidt/Lincoln-Sudbury High School/390 Lincoln Rd/Sudbury/Ma/01776 (617) 926-3242 -----> mit-caf!lsrhs!schmidt@eddie.mit.edu (And for you, Mr. NSA Line-Eater: drugs, terrorists, Libya, 1984)

To determine the version of MacsBug, break into Macsbug by hitting the interrupt button and type DV (display version). The current version is available from APDA. They can be reached at 206-251-6548. The problem of crashing into Macsbug upon booting with Multifinder is strange. I used to have that problem when I was using the ScrapSaver INIT. When I removed it, things were okay. You might try to remove the FKEY manager and reboot. Certain INIT's have problems with MultiFinder and certain _combinations_ of INIT's have problems. So try and remove them one by one until things work. Hope this helps. /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /* NOTE: I am _NOT_ an Apple representative.

Yes but do you have any inits in your system folder? If so take them all out and try your scenario by adding them back in one at a time, until you bomb again.

The Pop-Keys INIT was reported to be incompatible with MultiFinder. The last version of the Pop-Keys INIT that I had (the one that came with the FKEY Manager 3.0) bombed when put in my System Folder (that has way too many INITs in it to begin with). In addition, a friend had problems with QUED/M not functioning correctly when Pop-Keys was around. >Chris Schmidt/Lincoln-Sudbury High School/390 Lincoln Rd/Sudbury/Ma/01776 ========================================================================= Robert Hammen Computer Applications, Inc. hammen@csd4.milw.wisc.edu Delphi: HAMMEN GEnie: R.Hammen CI$: 70701,2104

I have FKEY Manager 2.5 and presumably have the compatible version of Pop-Keys. It works just fine on my Mac+ with Multifinder and loads of other inits. Someone awhile back posted a suggestion as to how to fix someone else's problem with Suitcase--pull out the battery, thereby erasing the PRAM, and then restart. This worked for me, and I'm wondering if this couldn't be a solution to try with Pop-Keys as well (unless 2.5 is compatible and 3.0 isn't). cheers, from charles s. geiger ARPA: cgeiger@ngp.cc.utexas.edu cgeiger@ut-ngp.ARPA UUCP: ihnp4!ut-ngp!cgeiger allegra!ut-ngp!cgeiger gatech!ut-ngp!cgeiger seismo!ut-sally!ut-ngp!cgeiger harvard!ut-sally!ut-ngp!cgeiger
