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!!!
