I have finally gotten VMM3.2 working. Not many problems so far. Question: Is there a list of preferences available for most software so that we don't have to keep rebooting everytime we fiddle with the preferences. Alex… Flying on Autopilot 1.80

I have VMM3.2 up and running and have only had problems with older software(pre-2.1) and some old shareware like that on some of the older Fish Disks. If you do have a program that hangs using virtual memory you can generally set the preferences so that the program code does not use Virtual Memory, I haven't had a problem with any data using VMM, just the program code. Distant Suns, an astronomy program, doesn't like using VMM but, generally, newer stuff has no problem at all. It really is a nice thing to have, God bless the man who wrote it, he deserves a big thanks. Wish I new more but this is pretty new to all of us. …Via Autopilot and Gforce 040/33 // …Only Amiga makes it possible \\/

Can't say much more than, "Seconds to all that, and more!" 🙂 Love the stability of WB3.0 with VMM3.2! – Phillip, on AutoPilot 1.80 _____T_____ Going Amiga 'till the Sun goes Nova! * * O * * B5>ST.all

I cannot get VMM to work at all on my 3000. The machine freezes as soon as I hit the USE button on the GUI. 25Mhz w/68882, 10Megs I have tried stopping any nonstandard programs, but that doesn't seem to help. Enforcer seems to work ok, and I use FASTROM all the time, so I THINK the MMU is ok. I am kind of stumped, and don't know what to try next. Can anybody help #include <disclaimer.h>

Did you install using the installer? Do you have MUI (proper rev – see VMM doc)? Did you accept the default page size chosen for you by the installer? Did you try changing the FASTROM setting in the MIscellaneous options? wmc – via Autopilot!

I Got It Working! A case of not RTFM'ing closely enough. I had to disable the CPU FASTROM specification I had in my startup-sequence. After that, it worked like a champ. #include <disclaimer.h>

Try running the pagesize program _before_ installing VMM to make sure you _and_ the installer want a certain page size. It _should_ be 4. If you choose the wrong page size, GURU! Or if you don't have MUI, etc. A read thru the docs told me I had screwed up by not taking the page size offered. _That_ was a fun experience, NOT! – Phillip, on AutoPilot 1.80 _____T_____ Going Amiga 'till the Sun goes Nova! * * O * * B5>ST.all

I'm running pretty smoothly now, thanks. I'll let it simmer for a few weeks and if it proves it self, send in the registration. Like you said, the programmer deserves a big thanks. Alex… Flying on Autopilot 1.80
