[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Problem with BackDrop 2.16 and GateKeeper 1.1.1

talent@dover.sps.mot.com (Steve Talent) (08/19/89)

I just put GateKeeper 1.1.1 in my system folder and tried to
restart.  My Mac crashed after loading several INITs.

My first guess was to remove BackDrop ... it worked.

System:  Mac+, 2048K, Version 6.0.3, Multifinder
INITs:  GateKeeper, AutoIdle 1.0a10, Shield 1.02 (Symantec Utilities)

I really liked having BackDrop (two point sixteen) but I feel having
GateKeeper is more important.  BackDrop replaces the gray desktop pattern
with a StartupScreen type bitmap image.

Is there a newer version of BackDrop?  ...something else that will do
the same thing? ...or could it be that BackDrop really isn't the problem?
