I have been using AutoDoubler since it came out on my IIci with System 7
quite successfully.  Then recently I started having frequent system
freezeups with it involved.  One scenario is I go to drag an icon to another
location such as the trash icon or another window and I see my cursor change
to "AD..." and then it freezes!  The other scenario I see is mentioned in #3
below.  As for what has changed, several possibilities come to mind:

1.  My hard disk has become nearly full (2-5 Mb free).  Does AD have a known
    history problem with low disk space environments?

2.  I had a 10Mb Virtual Memory set.  Does VM turned on cause problems?

3.  I have had several freezeups occur during AfterDark running.  I walk
    away and later see AfterDark playing, then alittle later, its frozen.
    Does AfterDark and AutoDoubler clash?  They didn't used to.

4.  I have been adding new extensions (inits) and cdevs over the months
    and maybe just have some conflicting configs.  One of these is NOW
    Utilities.  Using the Extension Manager, I can turn off all but a few
    key extensions and it seems to help the situation.  (But is that due
    to memory freeup or clash prevention?)  Any known extension/cdevs that
    are known to cause a problem for AD?

    I have alot of cdev/ext and really don't want to go through all the
    possible combinations and config's possible to try and elliminate the
    guilty party(s).  Again, this is a recent phenonenon so I guess I 
    could try focusing on recent additions.

    Another new package I got just recently is CP S/W's MacTools 2.0.
    Does it have any known conflicts with AD (AutoDoubler)?

    Also got Affinities' pre-release version of Tempo II Plus for system
    7 and Remember? v2.3.

If you have any clues or suggestions, please respond.  My system is a
IIci with 5 Mb memory and 105 Mb h/d, color head, VM and Cache turned ON 
with System 7.

Thanks for any help!!!
