I sent a few messages about the trouble I'm having with the request for
Inserting my Volume LOCALE in any drive when I startup my Amiga 1200. I think
my message got lost somewhere.

Joan,
Whenever your Amiga asks you to insert a volume into any drive, it is telling
you that it cannot find the information on that disk. If you have installed
that software on your hard drive, then you need to have an ASSIGN statement in
your user-startup telling your Amiga where to look for it. Once it can find the
information, it will stop asking for the disk itself.

Betty,
My Startup sequence looks like it has what it should have in it. What
commands do I need to put in my user-startup?
Maybe I didn't install my software correctly when I blew my system and
needed to reinstall my Workbench. But then I don't know why it just started
flashing this request now.

Joan,
When you re-installed your workbench, did you reinstall the LOCALE files? If
so, I don't know why it is flashing this requester. It must need something
from that directory, and cannot find the directory. But as to why it cannot
find it, I don't know.

Betty,
I think I did reinstall the LOCALE files. They are in my Workbench and they
are called Catalogs, Classes, Countries, and Languages. But inside my Locale
Prefs I only have English as the available language. I have no countries or
Preferred Languages. Those sections are blank. Maybe I need to put something in
them.
I tried giving a few commands to my user-startup but no success. I checked
my Startup sequence and it seems ok.

I use 2.04, so I don't know for sure, but it sounds to me like LOCALE: needs to
be ASSIGNed in your startup. Something to the effect of:
ASSIGN LOCALE: drivename:path
Where "drivename:path" is the physical path to the LOCALE directory, such as
"DH0:Libs\locale" or somesuch (remember – I don't have the OS that
supplies/relies on LOCALE, so I'm in a bit of a grey area here.) Just a
suggestion to check out.
Matt,
I tried doing that but it didn't help. I can't imagine that I could get
myself into such a problem. When I start up my computer I get the request for
LOCALE. Then I click on it a few times and then my computer clicks like the
monitor prefs are changing.
Thanks, Joan
