This is getting trickier, as the symptoms change but the problem remains the same. Your menu bar is flashing because you have the volume turned down to 0 in your General cdev. When volume is set to 0, the menu bar flashes instead. So what you're getting is the infamous beep when trying to open DAs under MultiFinder--which, of course, is caused by either not enough memory to open the DA, or that the file DA Handler is not in your System folder. --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
