Hi all, Shortly after downloading & installing the BoingBag OS3.5 update set from Amiga, my mouse pointer has become a series of garbled vertical lines. It still operates properly, the hot spot is in the right place, ans the Prefs pointer editor shows it having the right shape, but on all screens it looks duff. The reference to the BoingBag may be a coincidence, but I'm keeping my options open. Have I blown the blitter chip? Do I have a software fault? Any ideas, please? System includes A1200T, Blizzard 1260, 32Mb Fast Ram, AteoBus system. All help gratefully recieved, more details on request. Regards, Ian -- Ian Deaville - ian@deaville.demon.co.uk Welcome to Ellivaed Country!

Uhm, I vaguely remember having some problems like that with one of the older versions of CGFx and the original Cybervision. I haven't got around to installing BB#1 yet... > Have I blown the blitter chip? Do I have a software fault? Any ideas, please? Possible though unlikely, have you got any old games you can try :) > System includes A1200T, Blizzard 1260, 32Mb Fast Ram, AteoBus system.

Yes, Ateo's Pixel64, with Piccasso96, version 1.4. No other problems before... Happy New Year to you all! (It can't be any worse than the last few!)
