Hi, I hope someone has a good suggestion for this problem. System: A3000 25Mhz, 12Meg, 1 Gig HD, VT4000, VT 3.0 Software In this config everything seemed to work fine. However, when I upgraded to 3.1 I get the following problem: DblClick "Start Toaster" VT Icon appears Screen flickers for about 20 seconds. Then this error message appears: Software Failure – Press Left Mouse Button Error:8000 0003 Task:074BE068 After trying several times to start up the Toaster, no luck, however I did notice the Task: ID Code does change. I have changed the File Transfer Rate as recommended in the 3.1 book. I have completely reloaded AmigaOS, 3.0, then 3.1 ; same problem. Some Questions: Is the 3.1 upgrade for A4000 users only? (Does'nt seem so) Could this problem be related to the Video-1 input and the AUTOHUE procedure? What is the most accepted method to AUTOHUE with 3.1 (the one that works!) Look forward to your suggestions. Thanks -Steve

Sorry I don't have a fix to recommend, but I have a question: Where did you get the AmigaDos upgrade? (I am interested in getting the 3.1 AmigaDos UG for my A4000)I am assuming you are talking about a software only package. If so, the problem might be in the kickstart boot rom.

Sorry Frank, It's the 2.04 rev, not the 3.1. I noticed a thread earlier that mentioned reformatting and reloading all software so I thought I'd give it a try before putting out the call. BTW I'm also looking to try AmigaDos 3.1 on my A3000, I heard thru the various Amiga forums that beta versions work.?? We will have to see. GoodLuck -Steve
