Mr. Mooose–I'm having trouble with my 1.0 version of the Toaster. For one, it succesfully loads from the workbench about half the time. Sometimes I have to reboot the whole machine 5 times before it loads. It usually flashes like usual for a time until it stops on a gray screen (on the RGB monitor). Then it does nothing until the left mouse button is pressed, at which time the amiga simply reboots. The program output usually displays a distorted video signal of blue and black. I've noticed that if the program output doesn't initialize to a basically black screen (instead of the distorted black & blue) early in the toaster booting process, the toaster boot will not finish correctly. I'm running a A2000 with 5M ram and the fatter Agnus, and I'm using a GVP series II +8 controller and SCSI HD. I was once told this is the cause of white lines that appear in framestores and the like, which has been a persistent problem as well. Also, once the Toaster boots, I have no problem unless I enter Lightwave. I often get GURUs in Lightwave. I also can't render frames and save them to disk for later playback. When I attempt to play the animation frames back, I get a dialogue box saying frames are not the correct type. Are these problems related? Is it my system, or do I have a bad copy of the software? I'm not running any background utilities, and I seem to have enough RAM. Can you help? <-SJK->
