I recently installed Stacker 3.0.  I did not have stacker before.
I use a Ram Drive D: for a ( out of Geos Dos application ).
I have Stacker all configured and running fine with drives,
C: D: and E:  Stacker made the RAM drive D: and the Stacked disk E:

Everything works fine with my config.sys tuned..... Except....

When I go into Geos and only when I first open the GeoManager it says
It can not find the directory check your drive location (or something to that
effect)  I click on OK and the geo manager is blank, I click on the World
icon and poof the manager is all there. hmmmm and is fine until I exit and
restart geos again and only when I reopen the manager.

When it first opens it shows it is looking at D:[stak_vol]  then when
I have clicked on the world icon it comes up with C:[stak_vol]

2 possibles...... 1) I have the ramdrive D:  2) It is stacked also in the
config.sys
( 1024 ramdrive gets doubled to over 2meg COOL!)  
Maybe geos has trouble finding it at first.  The main program loads up fine.
It just can't find the world at first opening it.

Any suggestions.?  I am continuing to try different combinations to see
if geos can remember... Is there some setting I can do or set.?

This is from the FAQ.  I hope it helps.


Q:  I'm running GWE 1.2 with Stacker installed.  Drive C is my stacker 
    volume (through SSWAP).  For some reason GeoManager insists on 
    looking at drive E for the /geoworks/world directory, even though 
    when I exit geoworks, I'm on drive C.  Any ideas?

A:  Check the volume labels for drives C, D, and E.  If they're 
    identical, then use GeoManager to edit the volume labels so that 
    each drive has its own distinct label.

I have had a similar problem. The solution is to put Geos on your LAST
logical or Physical drive. It seems to be a geos bug. Anyone fixin this in 2.0??????????? :)
