I was just helping out a friend of mine who got an A2000HD on the educational discount today, and whenever we'd use the "duplicate" item in the menu, the machine would crash. Thinking that perhaps the OS installed on the drive had somehow gone bad, I reinstalled it from the floppy. No dice... the same thing. What happens is, when the "duplicate" is chosen, the new icon appears, then the "Software Error" requester shows up. Hitting cancel indicates a GURU $3 . I haven't yet tried installing Workbench from my distribution floppy, as it's well away from here. Any ideas? -jeff -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Rizzo INTERNET: seamus@bucsf.bu.edu OR phyq8jc@BUACCA.BITNET Boston University BIX: jrizzo CLA '91 ping!

The problem in my case was a bad RAM chip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The DiskDoctor threatens the crew!
