When I click on an Icon in the workbench screen my machine just freezes and I have to reboot. All the programs work fine when accessed through the CLI. Ive reformatted my hard drive but still get the problem. I've also tried booting off a floppy and bypassing the harddrive, to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? – via Whap!

John, Try the keyboard mouse button equivalents, just to see if the problem might be a bad mouse with a lot of contact bounce. Hope this helps, 8) David

I had this same problem a couple years ago….a bad CIA chip! Try swapping both CIA's and see if the problem _changes_ CIA's (8520's) are rather cheap $10 or so and are a good thing to keep a spare on hand! later! – via Whap!
