I just bought Afterdark. It is version 2.0t. It works on other machines
that I've tried it on, yet not my MacIIcx at work. The only difference I
can think of is that the machine at work uses system 6.0.7 while the
others use 6.0.4. Is there some sort of incompatibility problem?
Cheers,
Chris

Is there some sort of incompatibility problem? It runs fine on my MacIIsi. In fact according to a note on Compuserve the bug fixes in 2.0t include 6.07 sound manager compatibility fixes. So your problem is not likely to be 6.07. jim -- __ __ / o / Jim Budler jimb@silvlis.com | Proud / / /\/\ /__ Silvar-Lisco, Inc. +1.408.991.6115 | MacIIsi /__/ / / / /__/ 703 E.

This was the cause of an odd AD problem on my system. Let me explain. I purchased After Dark 2.0t on October 28, and installed it that day. A couple of days later, I was given an evaluation version of QuicKeys2 that would only run until October 15, 1990. So, in order to get a look at QuicKeys2 [which, by the way, I have yet to receive upgrade info for], I set my clock back to October 1, 1990. When I rebooted the machine, both icons showed up. QuickKeys Eval worked just fine; however, whenever After Dark kicked in, all that would be displayed was the Starry Sky module, which now featured a scrolling message stating "Randomizer module requires After Dark version 2.0." This happened with all modules, not just Randomizer. When I set the clock ahead to the real date, After Dark worked just fine. I'm puzzled by this. These modules couldn't possibly be checking for After Dark 2.0 using the _date_, could they? chaz -- Someone please release me from this trance. clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu AOL:Crowbone
