I'm posting this for a friend, He just bought HyperCard IIGS and ran the program with the write protection enabled on the disks. He ran it once, had some error upon exit and has not been able to run it ever since. I tried to install the thing to a Hard Disk twice, with not luck. It boots up and crashes into the monitor everytime. When I click on a different stack, it shows a brief glimps of teh stack and then crashes. ????? any help would be appreciated. nagendra

Are you sure your friend is running System 5.0.4 (nothing less than that will do)? Adequate memory (2 megs or so)? I found that the Great GrafSpeed 1.1 NDA does funny things with forked applications (like HCGS). Bill Gulstad said he is working on that bug. It crashed HCGS once, and other times it would cause certain resources not to show up (like missing stack icons, missing sounds, etc.) Try booting off a fresh copy of System 5.0.4 from floppy and running HCGS off the hard drive.
