I now have reliable code to detect for AGA, which is not yet in VistaPro 3.05. However, I run with V39 mode turned on in debugging on my machine all of the time, and the only time I get into trouble is when I actually attempt to do an AGA function. The normal startup code knows nothing about V39 and should be able to open up just fine on any machine running V39 as long as the user doesn't try to open an AGA screen. VistaPro won't try to unless requested by the user. (In fact the code that opens the control panel should still run under version 1.1 of AmigaDOS.) The only V39 checks that exist are in the AGA specific code. That's why I suspect that the problem lies with GVP's EGS WorkBench and not V39. I have several beta testers who also run V39 on their 3000's and don't have any difficulties. VP will crash if you select HAM8 or 256-c on a non-AGA machine, but that doesn't seem to be your problem.
