A patch program should be available for the DESKTOP.INF bug you mentioned. It was unfortunate that some ROMs went into machines before we found that particular bug. A new STE ROM release has been made which fixes the problem. Only a few European versions of TOS were affected. Contact the customer support people at the Atari subsidiary in your country, and ask for STE_FIX.PRG. If you are unable to get the STE_FIX.PRG, please please drop me a note and I'll try to post it to the net. Other than that, the two bugs we knew about in Rainbow TOS - the internal AES and Rsconf() bugs - are fixed in STE TOS. The screen behaviour you describe sounds very strange. It could be a hardware problem (a bad BLiTTER? I don't know - I'm not a hardware guy). I apologise sincerely for any trouble the DESKTOP.INF save bug has caused any STE owners, and hope you can get the replacement ROMs soon. -- ||| Ken Badertscher (ames!atari!kbad) ||| Atari R&D System Software Engine / | \ #include <disclaimer>
