I just got SimEarth and have been playing it a couple of times. Each time I play, however, the program freezes. Nothing works. The mouse, the keys are all dead. The only way to get out is to turn the computer off. I own a Mac SE, 1 MB memory, and I am running it on an hard drive. Is anyone having the same problems? Any suggestions? I use system v.6.0.7 and also have SAM on the system folder. Could that be the problem? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Jaxon. U.of Rochester.

Nothing works. The mouse, the keys are al [etc] I use a billion inits, cdevs, system folders, spindlers, and muti- lators. SimEarth survives them all, with a notable exception- SoundMaster (all versions). SimEarth dies a horrible death when SoundMaster actually tries to make a sound, usually the lockup behaviour described above. Is this just me? I solved the problem by ditching SoundMaster; you might try that if you've got it. --Chris

I use significantly less than a billion inits, etc., but one of these is in fact Soundmaster. I've used SimEarth both with and without Multifinder, and have never had SoundMaster-SimEarth conflicts. I'm running on an SE, if that makes a difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bumper sticker seen on stealth bomber: "IF YOU CAN READ THIS, THEN WE WASTED 50 BILLION BUCKS."
