Joe's got it right. You want to use the complete path if you're running SetXA in the beginning of your startup-sequence file, because the Utilities drawer hasn't been added to your path yet at that point. When you get this working correctly, remove the AddXAMem icon from the startup drawer, because it's redundant. No, it doesn't sound like a hardware malfunction, just a problem getting SetXA to run early enough. The best place to put it is right after the SetPatch line in the beginning of S:Startup-sequence. This way, you'll get the maximum benefit you can get from using SetXA ADDMEM. Now, what you really want to do is to use AutoXA instead of SetXA for adding the fast memory to the system. Look in the download libraries here for AutoXA. It can get the fast memory added to your system even earlier than SetXA can, so that more of your chip memory is freed up, and your system will run a little bit faster too. – dan
