#PowerSnap POP
2 messages in this thread
I tried to install PowerSnap V1.1 (PSNAP.LZH, lib 15) and have been unable
to get it to work. About 50% of the time, when I hold down the left alt
button & then press the LMB to activate it, I immediately get a software
failure requester (#80000003), and everything freezes except the pointer.
The rest of the time everything (including the pointer) freezes after the
requester window is rendered, but _before_ any text is rendered to the
requester window.
The installation was straight foreward, and I know that many others are
using this utility. I feel that I have done something wrong, but am at a
loss as to what it could be.
My setup is an A2500 (020), ICD AdSCSI (with newest ROM) 10M ram. In
trying to track this down I have shutdown all of my background processes
except handlers and system stuff, so I don't _believe_ that this is a
conflict with other software.
Has anyone had this sort of problem with PowerSnap? Any ideas or
suggestions?? I downloaded Snap V1.62, and it is working, but I am still
curious.

Homer,
I have PowerSnap, but am satisfied using Snap 1.62. Do you have SnoopDOS?
Try loading that first then start PowerSnap keeping an eye on SnoopDOS'
output. Then try PowerSnap on the output text of SnoopDOS, maybe you'll see
the Warning Error message before it locks up.
If you don't have SnoopDOS go into LIB 15

When you start SnoopDos, it opens a console window. In this
window appears details of all calls made by any program on the system to
the CurrentDir(), DeleteFile, Execute(), LoadSeg(), Lock() and
Open() functions in the AmigaDOS library. The exception (as usual) is
any program written in BCPL; this includes most of the commands in the
C: directory. Author: Eddy Carroll
