#Toaster & NickPrefs
7 messages in this thread
Having just received our Toaster 3.1 upgrade, the tv station where I work
is now upgrading their A2000 to Dos 2.1. The manual cautions against
using mouse accelerators and screen blankers with the Toaster, but I was
wondering if anyone had run into problems using the Toaster with NickPrefs
(available in AmigaArts) installed?

The Toaster is very picky about any kind of WB Utility. The only thing you can
do is try it out…
Spounds like the prudent thing to do, though I thought I'd drop a line and
see if anyone online would like to share their experiences.

I do recall some problems with nickprefs… I think it was just having the
snoozy pointer come up and stay up at odd times in paint. The main thing
to avoid in your typical screen blank utility (not nickprefs) is one that
turns off the mouse pointer. This'll kill a toaster signal quick. I
think 2.1 already has the coolest features of nickprefs anyway (sound,
picture/pattern backdrops)
I have no trouble using a mouse accelerator and a screen blanker with the
Toaster. I've done this since the day Toaster came out, no promblemo.

WEll, I'm planning on taking it easy when it comes to the toys–after all,
it is part of a commercial operation, but I do plan to use our logo as the
picture in NickPrefs.

I remmember having problems with LW in the Toasters 1.0 rev. and I haven't
used a screen blankers or mouse utilities since. Just haven't tried….
