[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HC 2.0 Color Level problem

ngg@bridge2.ESD.3Com.COM (Norman Goodger) (11/03/90)

	I just installed Hypercard 2.0 on my Mac IIcx with 5 megs
	of ram, 6.0.7 and I am using Virtual set to 8 megs of ram..
	I run a slew of INIT's of course and everytime I try to run
	Hypercard in 256 color mode I get a error msg indicating 
	that 2.0 wants more memory to run. I tried running it up to
	4 megs of partition space and still cannot get past the error
	msg. If I reduce the color level to 2 color, it runs fine.
	I find it hard to believe that 2.0 forces you to run in two
	color mode or B&W. While I have not tried playing the remove
	the INIT game using Startup Manager or InitPicker, I would 
	like to know if someone can explain why I would get the error
	msg in the first place and if they perhaps already know what
	might be installed causing the problem...

The one conflict I know of that manifests itself in the way you described 
is with Smart Alarms version 3. Jam software is aware of the problem and 
has released a minor update to fix the bug.
