[comp.sys.apple2] System/Application Hangs on my GS

sxaeg@acad3.alaska.edu (greenwalt art e) (01/17/91)

  Here's my set-up:  Rom01 GS, GS/OS V5.0.4, 20
mg Inner Drive, Gs-Juice card with 2.5 internal RAM,
2 3.5 drives, 1 5.25 drive, assorted CDA's and NDA's.
  What's happening is a multitude of little things.  For
one, when I first tried installing the new GS/OS as well
as re-installing my AWGS v1.1 upgrade, the system hung at
the "Calculating Space Requirements" dialog box. When I
finally got the GS/OS to install (through persistence) it
came up with a blank dialog box instead of the "Installation
Successfully Completed" text and hung.  When I load SHRConvert
as the first outline of the letters appears it is a
checkered pattern instead of solid blank background beneath
the letters.  And when I get "One Moment Please" as in
loading HS's Sound Studio, the left bracket has colored
pixels while the right is the usual solid white.
  I get hangs during games, hangs during applications, hangs
during utilities.  There is no rhyme or reason to it.  I've
removed NDA's and CDA's most recently loaded leaving only the
tried-and-true on and it still hangs.  When I try to backspace
in AWGS by way of deleting characters, only half of the vertical
aspect is removed and the rest superimposes on the next character
to the left.
  This is incredibly aggravating, especially when I consider some 
of the scores I have lost due to hangs.
  Any ideas?
