Following on from It dials and then....

Having spent all day fiddling I can't get anything out of ICE at all. Here 
are a few of the problems I've noticed:

1 - Anything which call the Oasis editor from Oasis 2 is giving me an out 
of memory error. That's on a 4 meg STE under Magic 2.

2 - Selecting log on from the Internet menu results in a disappearing 
mouse (having passed the options box and pressed log on) and a highlighted 
Internet menu header, but nothing else. The mouse pointer is there but 
invisible. Clicking on the top menu bar gives the Magic pull-down, right 
across the width of the screen. The only way out of this is Magic's 
Alt-Ctrl-Esc interrupt.

3 - Loading up ICE on its own from the desktop gets me to a new selection 
of menu headings and a moveable mouse, but nothing else. The mouse, 
although mobile, will not click on anything or pull down the menus. 
Magic's interrupt, used above, has no effect. The machine will 
_reluctantly_ re-boot using ctrl-alt-delete.

4 - Some of the options (I forget which) on the Ice_net set-up program 
have display refresh problems -  the open folder beneath them obliterates 
the middle of the boxes being displayed.

5 - The instructions on converting old Oasis files instruct copying into 
the Oasis2\news\newsbase folder. This doesn't appear to exist, so I copied 
the old folder lock, stock and barrel. Is this why I seem to have a whole 
load of empty newsgroups? What should the documentation actually read 
here?

I've tried running on normal TOS but still no joy with Ice.

Any clues? I intend to unpack and try all over again, but if anyone would 
like to help drop a line!
