I Don't think it's really a Tech support problem…I've been playing around with it a bit and it's getting really confusing now. This is what I've done. #1) open shell and place prowrite floppy in df0: #2) issue- COPY DF0:ProWrite RAM: #3) CD: RAM #4) RUN ProWrite #5) Presto! It loads and Works. Now, if I Do the Above but instead of copying to ram, I copy it to a Hard Drive partition, when I try to run it I get a BAD LOAD HUNKFILE ERROR Hmm. Here's where it gets weirder. If I then copy the file from my Partition back to RAM, it no longer works there either. I can run the file from floppy or RAM (copied from the floppy). But as soon as it touches my Hard Drive the file won't load anywhere. I LISTED the file before and after and it always stays the same number of bytes. I can't figure out what's going on. This SAME thing happens with SimEarth and (I found out today) ProCalc. If I copy by shell or drag the icon to RAM and run it, it works. It works off floppy. It WON'T work if I run it off the Hard Drive, and once it touches a Hard Drive partition that particular copy of the file will no longer work anywhere I put it, even if I put it back on RAM. I guess I just can't figure out why I've got three separate programs that work fine off of floppy or if I drag (or copy) to RAM: But all give the same error off the hard drive (Bad load hunkfile). Meanwhile everything else seems to work fine (Autopilot, PageStream,any of the Workbench programs etc). Something has got to be wrong here. But what? Bad IDE controller? but then why does everything else work? I've tried every Virus checker I could find and they all came up negative. Although the ones that will check your system vectors show some of mine being offset. But could that be due to OS3.0 and the virus programs written for 2.04+? I guess if someone could tell me it's just an incompatability to the new OS I'd be happy, but why then do they run off floppy or from RAM? It's driving me nuts because it doesn't make sense. The thing that REALLY bothers me is why does the load hunkfile (what ever that is) suddenly become bad when the file touches any of my hard drive partitions AND stays bad from that point on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd really like to know if this is a software or hardware problem. Thanks, Craig Glaser
