I recently loaded the Connectix Powerbook Utilities (C.P.U.) onto my PowerBook
100 and was very happy with the range of controls it offered, allowing me to
eliminate a bunch of random extensions and control panels I had picked up.
However, there is a catch.  Whenever I try to run certain programs that try
to take over the screen, they only have spradic control - for example, 
After Dark melting clock can only produce flickering floating digits, the
rest of the screen is still normal.  I didn't think much of it until I
tried to run a few of my favorite games, Oids and Spectre, and neither of
them worked either!  Without the C.P.U. in the Control Panels, the games work
fine, but otherwise they can't draw to the screen corectly and are out of
control.  
Has anyone else had trouble with C.P.U. and other applications?  Is there any
way to tell C.P.U. to relinquish control of the screen?  Even with all the
sections in C.P.U. turned off, the problem persists.  I don't really want to
have to reboot to play certain games, so C.P.U may have to go.  Any help
would be appreciated.
Too bad there isn't a comp.sys.mac.powerbook for dedicated problems like
these. Sorry about cross posting.
