My father has just updated his ancient A2000 machine to WB2.1. Everything appears to work fine at first but quite often when attempting to open a drawer or run a program everything goes dead. The mouse pointer becomes frozen and the only way out appears to be to re-boot. Changing directories and running programs from the shell appears to be perfectly OK and has never hung up even when running the same programs that hang when tried from workbench. The fault is not totally repeatable as occasionally things work for one or two clicks!. Does anyone know if this is a known problem or has the new workbench uncovered a hardware problem that didn't occur with the old version. (2.0) The problem is present when booted from hard drive and from floppy. System has Kickstart 37.175 , WB 38.36, 3MB Ram, Trumpcard Hard drive. Any ideas would be welcome. (Apart from get a more modern machine!) Thanks….. Colin Durbridge. (U.K.)
