Martin; << I run an A2000 with G'40 @33, 2 meg chip ram, 16 meg 32 bit ram on G'40 board,WB 2.0, 2 HD's (Quantum 100 and Maxtor 203) daisy chained internally to the SCSI-2 on the accelerator, Picasso II and Emplant Deluxe board (with which I am very happy). My sys- tem is working flawlessly. However I am unable to run Magic Work- bench. As I remember when I spoke to you at the WOCA-Toronto in December, your system was similar to mine. Were you not using Mag.WB? I have tried installing it from my Workbench and from the shell, both methods resulting in blank screen. If I click on the Show MagicWorkBench IFF icon and get a Picasso Change screen re- quester, I can get the picture using hires lace but not using a Picasso screen. I have tried the installation with my usual Picasso 800×600 screen mode (8 colors). How can I work around this? Will the soon to be released WB 3.1 from Expert Services (Village Tronics) for the A2000 allow me to use MgicWorkbench? My monitor is an Idek 17" multisynch, max vert freq 38.>> This was my message to Jim Drew. Could you give me some advice on this? I think MagicWB has a great appearance and would like to be able to use it. I did try to use it without installing NickPrefs and still couldn't…twice my system locked up completely and the only way I was able to get up and running again was to boot with my WB 2.0 floppy and then erase all MagicWB files by hand. Any help would be appreciated! Hank Hank
