I am trying to run a Desk Accessory and I receive a dialog box saying that error -97 has occured. I look up this in my system error codes DA (which it works fine), and it says that the AppleTalk port is in use. The machine in question is an SE/30 with 5 meg of ram. Has anybody had this problem before ? Thanks for any replies, Chris

I get error -97 with DA's with SUM Partition going (known to be 7.0-hostile).
What this has to do with a port in use is beyond me.
Nick.

Hello, After Posting my original article, I received a response asking if I was using Sum Partition Init. I was and that was the problem. I had not heard that sum was dangereous to system 7. Thanks for the responses. BTW, does anybody know why their was a DRVR conflict with Sum Partition Init and the DAs? Anyone at Symantec want to hazard a guess? Chris

I'm not from Symantec, but the reason is that SUM tries to put its partitioning driver in the first available desk accessory slot. Under 7.0, with no DAs in the System file, it puts its driver in the first slot. Most desk accessories under system 7.0 also try to use this slot (they don't conflict because they are in different parititions), and thus they fail. It is possible to patch SUM partition to use a different slot. (sorry, don't have the patch with me at the moment) -- Matthew T.
