Iain, if you've got AutoXA in your SYS:Utilities drawer, then that's where you need to refer to it in your S:Startup-sequence file. Put this line after the SetPatch line in S:Startup-sequence: SYS:Utilities/AutoXA >NIL: This will add the XA memory to your system and immediately reboot the machine, so that the second time around, AutoXA will see that the memory is there already, and will then let the system come up normally. The reason it's not working for you now is that you've put AutoXA in the SYS:Utilities drawer, but you're trying to run it from the SYS:System drawer instead of the SYS:Utilities drawer. Since AutoXA is NOT in your SYS:System drawer, AmigaDOS cannot find it. Lets get AutoXA running properly on your system first, then we can address the other problems, such as the amount of chip RAM avilable, etc. You may find that once AutoXA is set up to work correctly, some other problems you mentioned may go away. In any case, it's generally best to try to work on one problem at a time, or you've got no idea which change fixed which problem. – dan
