Hi all, I'm the proud owner of a new A4000/30. Which is a vast improvement over my old A500. I've been spending the last few days trying to get my system up the way I want it but have run in to a coupla very strange problems. For some reason it seems Workbench doesn't like to load some things from my hard drive. It's a very strange problem because the computer will run it just fine off a floppy-even if it's the ONLY thing on the floppy. The computer will also run it just fine from the RAM Disk. But if I drag the program onto one of my Hard drive partitions and then double click, I get a 'Unable to open ProWrite tool' or Unable to open SimEarth tool. Draging the very same icon to Ram and double clicking will load and run the program however. This is a problem with SimEarth and my ProWrite Programs. On my A500 all I had to do was drag the drawers over onto my HD and they worked fine. Now no matter what I try I can't seem to get either of these programs to load off my Hard Drive, they only load from RAM: or floppy. The Only thing I can think of is some new Path, Assign, or Something else new in OS 3.0 that I don't know about. I've re-installed my System software twice and tryed using Commodores virgin startup-sequence but that doesn't work either. Is there something here I'm just missing? HELP!!! Craig Glaser
