Hi, First off I want to thank the people who responded to my plea for help with the 4096 virus. Things are under control now. I have another problem though. I've downloaded Disinfectant 2.0 and cannot use the help function on my machine. I have an SE/30 with 4mb of memory. The program will scan and disinfect fine but when you try to call up help the machine freezes and I have to re-boot. I have many INIT's, CDEV's and DA's in my system folder. Could these be causing this? I also have a startup screen and various other things in my system folder. Does anybody know of anything that could cause this. It works fine on other machines so I know it has to be my computer. I have so much going on in the system folder I don't know (or have time) to remove things one by one to test them. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Michael Greve University of Pa. The Wharton School greve@wharton.upenn.edu

Any help will be appreciated. If it's controlling your inits/cdevs that you want, let me tell you about the Init CDEV 3.0 written by Jon Rotenstein. when starting up, hold down the space bar and you will be presented with a dialog box containing a scrolling field with most of your inits and cdevs. The ones that are hi-lited are the ones that will load into your system heap. You can even specify if this is to be temporary or a permanent change. Init CDEV is avialble in the sumex-aim.stanford.edu archives. -=-Captain Video \`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\ ` '` '` This intonation of wonderful '` TTTTTTTTTTTTTT '` DISCLAIMER: Just the same thoughts was brought to you '` T TT T '` as DATclaier and DEM- by: '` TT '` claimmers over there.
