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.
