If you go into an application it always works! I had the same thing happen. You can also select the control panel from OnCue (with Multifinder 6.1b9, if you select "insert application switching menu" it gives a list of DAs instead.) >Problem seems to be related to MF 6.1b9 (I have a friend who has the same >thing on a IIci under 6.0.5). Multifinder 1.6b9 seems to be the culprit in my case as well - at least, putting the old Multifinder back makes the problem go away. >I am using the 'Spirit of '76 release (0.9x76?) which has dire warnings about >being an intermediate release. I have the latest (?) release, without dire warnings of it being an intermediate release, and have the same problem. >Anybody else see this and solved the problem. No solution. I just no longer use DA menuz. I've discovered that I mostly used it simply for the control panel menu. And by using the CDEVs nothing, unscrolly, and select CDEV (all freeware), I can open up the control panel and have it sit on the side of the desk if I want. Or in any event, selecting the CDEV I want is fairly quick and painless. >At the moment DAmenuz has been dumped for the 'Set aside' feature. >Many thanks >Kevin G.
