I have a small question to ask here, I bought my A2000 3 months ago and so I'm still new to what this computer does. I'v noticed that if I don't press a key on the computer for 10 min. the screen will blank untill a key or if the mouse is moved. This happens when I'm up/downloading and the keys are at rest while the transfer is in progress. Is this normal for the computer? Joel.. UUnet!mnetor!yunexus!xrtll!joel cs104344@yusol.bitnet

I have an Amiga B2000 with BridgeBoard & sometimes, for no apparent reason, the entire monitor will go the colour of whatever the background screen is. The only way I can get back is to soft boot. I don't lose control, I can still use the command line (I've printed stuff out). I seem to have narrowed it down to when I have several windows going & perhaps some other stuff using the screen. I have taken it to my local Commodore service centre to be checked out for Hardware but they came up with nothing. I don't think it's H/W because it's alright when I reboot. Has anyone got some sort of ideas as to what it may be. All advice is greatly appreciated. thanx - Robi +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | ACSnet: robi@attila.esa.oz Tel: (+61) (02) 953 9488 | | Fax: (+61) (02) 953 9531 | | Snail : 15-17 Paraween Street,Cremorne, NSW 2090 | | UUCP : {uunet,mcvax,ukc,nttlab}!munnari!attila.esa.oz!robi | +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+

Sounds like the symptoms exhibited by one of the early viruses. -larry -- Real Amiga hackers write printer drivers using Metascope. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca or uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
