I just installed Auto Raise (from cica raise.zip) and I found that it
conflicts with ScreenPeace (latest version also from cica). When
ScreenPeace kicks in, it doesn't recognize any mouse or keyboard
action except ALT-TAB. Beautiful effects appear then (fireworks
through a .wri document etc). After a while nothing can be done,
except watching the efforts of the screen saver.
My system is a CompuAdd 286 with 1Mbyte and a standard VGA.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I like both programs so I
don't want to get rid of either of them.

It conflicts with Magic too. System completely hangs when Magic comes on if auto-raise is installed. A reboot was the only way out. So I suggest that when people want to try these new stuff they should allways save and close all applications first and prepare for windows to crash. I don't know if it's a bug in Magic or in auto-raise. But since you say screen-peace hangs also I assume it's a problem in auto-raise. Apperantly the Author doesn't use either screen-peace or Magic. (No offense meant here.) I deleted auto-raise from my hard disk 10 minutes after downloading it. Joe

However, it appears that you can get around it by loading raise *before* loading screenpeace. Since I made that change, the two have co-existed peacefully (sorry) for over a week. -Chris -- >>>> Chris Newbold <<<< * "If you fool around with a thing for very long you * University of Rochester * will screw it up." * Disclaimer: "All warranties expire upon payment of invoice." ctne_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu * uhura.cc.rochester.edu!ctne_ltd@uunet

As the author of Auto-Raise for windows I would like to see that all problems with it's operation are solved. First I'd like to ask all users with problems to check to see which version they are running. The current version I am supporting is 1.03. This version fixes the problem Auto-Raise was having with screen savers. In fact I was directed to the problem by one of my users. I did not have a copy on Magic at the time the previous versions of Auto-Raise were released. I am happy to report that I use Auto-Raise with Magic with no problems. The version of Auto-Raise on cica was not placed there by me. I do not have direct outside ftp access due to my firm's data security policies. I would be glad to transfer the latest release of Auto-Raise to anyone who has cica access so that they may place it there. I regret any bad first impressions anyone was given by the first releases and I will do anything I can to correct them. You may contact me through the address or telephone number given in the documentation. Unfortunatley mail sent to me tends to bounce. Robert Nee

The version I got from cica must have been an earlier release, because it does conflict with screen peace. I suspect that many users, like myself, would love to have the latest release. The utility is an excellent one, but for those of us who are addicted to Screen Peace, the incompatibility is a problem. Saul Traiger traiger@oxy.edu
