I just installed new Kickstart Roms into an Amiga 3000, no fun. Then I installed WorkBench O.S. 3.1. Now....one thing, why did my mouse pointer go from a cool nice hi-res one to an ugly low-res one that looks like my old Amiga 500???? ....yuk! Anyone tell me how to change it back, I can hardly look at it. thanks in advance, dAVE mikicic@mcs.com

How about using the 'pointer' program in the sys:Prefs directory? Just select 'High res' That will do the trick. -- Jaco Schoonen (jaco@stack.urc.tue.nl)

The problem is with the .prefs files in your SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys directory. They didn't get updated when you upgraded to 3.1, and they are not compatible with 3.1. You need to delete them (after writing down the settings of course) and then use the tools in your Prefs directory to recreate them. The file that is causing the particular problem with the mouse pointer is 'palette.prefs'. My mouse pointer cleared up just after deleting this file. Peter

When I was in the middle of doing my hires mouse pointer collection (aminet: pix/icon/ArgelPtrs.lha I think) I asked on here and after TONS of confusing replies, here's what I think is the right answer: "ECS users must be using the new OS3 monitors (e.g. DBLNTSC) to use these pointers (I think)!!!" -- /---Russ-LeBar-------+---- c621412@@showme.missouri.edu -----S()-------\ | // Dare to Dream | Creator of Argel Ptrs & Term toolstrip imagery | | \X/ A M I G A | A1200-6MB-14Mhz881-426HD -- Term beta tester | |WWW: http://www.missouri.edu/~c621412/ -- Kathy Troccoli, DD, art...| |FTP: musie.phlab.missouri.edu in pub/amiga -- Term betas, ArgelPtrs...| \------S()--Argel----------- Opinions are mine & thus CORRECT =) ------/
