HELP :-< Message-ID: <15625@boulder.Colorado.EDU> Date: 15 Jan 90 01:21:28 GMT Sender: news@boulder.Colorado.EDU Reply-To: stevens@tigger.colorado.edu (Curt Stevens) Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Lines: 27 All of a sudden my Das won't open under multifinder. All I get is abeep whenever I try. Under finder everything is fine. I didn't add any new inits or do anything unusual to the machine between the last time it worked and the onset of the problem. I was playing Sim City. Just before that game I set the color level to 16 so the DAs were working at that time. I selected the finder, put in a floppy to format and that's where the weirdness started. The disk wouln't mount and I had to eject it with a paperclip. After that I put in a formatted floppy that also wouldn't mount so I restarted the machine (macII, 5megs, 6.0.3). After that the first floppy was properly recognized as an unreadable media and properly formatted. After that I used the finder to copy some stuff to the floppy and it worked fine. At this point I tried to select the control panel and all I got was a beep. Under finder everything works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch. =============================================================================== |Curt Stevens (303) 492-1218 | / |arpa: stevens@boulder.colorado.edu| |University of Colorado at Boulder | o o |uucp:{ncar|nbires}!boulder!stevens| |Computer Science Dept.
