   Re:  bad games disks (from cold start)
 
   I don't know how well you know your computers yet, but you should be aware
that you should not write high scores or set preferences directly on copy
protected disks.  This is particularly true for EA disks.  Sometimes you can
get away with it, but as often as not, you'll end up with problems.  If you
run from your own Workbench, setting prefs is fine, but some of these games
are self-booting.  Get yourself a copy tool (not for pirating, but for
archiving and creating working disks).  Copy your disks as soon as you get
them and use the copied disk, never the original.  You should do this with
ALL your software.  Hope you find a solution to your problems.      Julie
