DAN,
I did as instructed in the leaflet by placing the `SetXA` icon into the
Utilities drawer and placing the `AddXAMem` icon into the Startup Drawer.
When I noticed that one could speed up the action of AMIGADOS by entering
the commands "SETXA ADDMEM" into the startup-sequence directly I attempted
to do so and this resulted in the reaction SYS "System/AutoXA: unknown
command …. failed returncode 10" with the same notice appearing for
SetXA. I then removed the "SETXA ADDMEM" command from the startup-sequence
and retained the icons in the two drawers. I have not altered the startup
drawer to remove the SYS:UTILITY command path.
On my initial workbench screen I have 1,130,560 graphics and 8,384,248
other memory. When calling up AVAIL in the Shell window it indicates that
I have access to the full 2MB of chip ram but that a large amount is
already in use – though I am running no other programs. 17 icons
representing various partitions (5) and programs are present. It puzzles
me no end. I was worrying that I may be losing my chip ram permanently.
Does this sound as though I have a serious malfunction in my machine?
I`m also using a Maxtor 250MB IDE drive.
I`d appreciate any further help Dan on this or from anyone else, please.
IAIN.
