I rencently switched to System 6.0.7 and installed DeskTop Manager 2.0.1. On several occasion I had my system lock up (or go into an endless loop) when trying to empty the trash. When I press the Interrupt button and use SM 0 A9F4 and G 0 to get out of this, the Finder is gone. (I have a IIci and am running MultiFinder). Today I had a couple of files on which this happened repetedly, until I finally used DiskTop to delete them. DiskTop didn't seem to have any problem with them. Is it possible that this has something to do with DiskTop Manager? I am running dozens of INITs and CDEVs, but I have not run into a similar problem ever before upgrading to 6.0.7 and starting to use DiskTop Manager. ************************************************************** Wolfgang N.

Happened to me as well. Turn up the size of the System Heap (if you have a program which can do so) - I think I finally ran out of space, so you might be doing as well. > Is it possible that this has something to do with DiskTop Manager? > I am running dozens of INITs and CDEVs, but I have not run into a similar > problem ever before upgrading to 6.0.7 and starting to use DiskTop Manager.

I have also had lockups when copying large files. I have a IIci as well, the problem happens in both finder and MF. >Is it possible that this has something to do with DiskTop Manager? >I am running dozens of INITs and CDEVs, but I have not run into a similar >problem ever before upgrading to 6.0.7 and starting to use DiskTop Manager.

Turn up the size of the System Heap (if you have > a program which can do so) Well, I failed to mention that I have 8 MB or RAM and used HeapFixer to increase System Heap size to 1,800k, which usually leaves about 250k free. So that is unlikely to be the problem. Has anyone else got an idea or similar experience? ************************************************************** Wolfgang N.
