[] Where is the info for mouse speeds kept in the 2.0 prefs files. I created a boot disk, moved all of my prefs files (from ENV-Archives/sys) from my harddrive over. My normal prefs (fonts selected, colors, background pattern) come up ok, but my mouse speed is at its slowest. I assumed that this would be covered in input.prefs as the "input" tool sets this guy, but no matter what I do, the mouse moves at its slowest when I boot from the disk. I even moved the input tool over to the disk and tried setting it there. When I open that up from the boot disk, the mouse acceleration kicks in. But hitting "save" will not save it across boots. mike -- "outside of a dog, a book is mans best friend, inside a dog, it's too hard to read"-Groucho Mike Smithwick - ames!zorch!mike

I created >a boot disk, moved all of my prefs files (from ENV-Archives/sys) from >my harddrive over. Mouse speed is contained in input.prefs, which is written to ENVARC:sys/input.prefs. The normal startup-sequence copies such files to ENV:sys/input.prefs, where IPrefs finds it. Make sure that ENVARC: is assigned to somewhere permanent (i.e. not RAM). Make sure that ENVARC: isn't reassigned after startup (else the Prefs file will be copied to the new location, but refreshed upon boot from the old). Make sure you don't have any write-protected input.prefs file in ENVARC:. >mike Peter -- Peter Cherna, Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.
