Trent, Here's what I have in my computer. Ram–0K free, 62\1 in use Workbench–100%full, 13K free, 8,194 K in use Work–23% full, 56 M free, 16 M in use Amiga Workbench–1,390,696 graphics mem, 0 other memory I installed a MBX 1200z with no FPU and a Simm 4MB 1 X 32 6ons Do you think that is not operating? Even if it isn't should I be abole to load Autopilot on my system?

PMFJI, but I think I may be able to help. Your Workbench: partition on your HD is definately full. See what is out there that you don't need and either delete it or move it to your Work: partition. Ram: disk is allways goig to report that it is 100% full. That is because it only uses enough memory to hold it's contents. You can add things to the Ram: disk even though it says 100% full. If you have a 4MB SIMM in your MBX 1200z and the Workbench titlebar is saying 1,390,696 graphics mem, 0 other memory, then your MBX is not working right. The graphics mem is your Chip memory, the other memory should be your 4MB SIMM, which is saying 0. Check your MBX or the SIMM; make sure they are both seated ok. You should be able to load AutoPilot on you Work: partition with no problems, but you will need to clean up your Workbench: partition first (AutoPilot does put some things in your Workbench: partition, such as ApAssist, and you do not have enough free space to put anything there). Hope this helps. — Dogs crawl under Gates, Software crawls under Windoze — Rick Green via AutoPilot 1.74

Joan, Just from what you wrote =>Amiga Workbench–1,390,696 graphics mem, 0 other memory<= just your stock graphics memory (ie your chip ram) is present. No fast ram. Try reseating your board, and then make sure your ram chips are set right. Before you do this make sure your machine is unplugged and you have grounded yourself. This may cure your woes. =>Even if it isn't should I be abole to load Autopilot on my system? You should, but instead of installing Autopilot into your Workbench: put it into you Work: partition. There is more disk space there. You will still need to clean up your Workbench: drawer though. Autopilot puts some needed programs into it, and with your disk space available Autopilot will not be able to place them where they are supposed to go. Either way Autopilot should be working for you real soon now (and allow me to say that you will find it a relief to be able to use it's message editor rather than the one CIS has <g>)… As the boss of the forums here is fond of saying though… 'Do not forget to read the documentation.' <g> Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'

PMFJI : I don't know the MBX 1200 but most memory boards I have installed have had jumpers that you set to tell the board how much RAM you have added. They are usually little rectangular things that fit over pairs of pins on the circuit board. Try looking at the instructions for your MBX 1200 and see if you need to do this.
