I'm new to mac using (I don't know an INIT from an FKEY) and I was
wondering if anyone out there has experienced the following
problem with the mac 512ke.

When I run a certain application, it works fine until i press a
key on the keyboard (ie, the mouse can select things, etc).  But
when i touch a key, I get the old "sorry, a system error.." and
"ID=2".  The program (which is a game called AdvInt, downloaded
from sumex -- I don't really care about the game all that much,
I'm just wondering why...) works fine on a regular mac.  

In addition, when I run the application and then exit with the mouse,
everything I type appears on the screen as the little box character.
I have to reboot to be able to type again.

what's up?

thanks.
