Can anyone explain this strange >behaviour of my computer (which already caused me to loose MANY files)? I remember having this problem for some time on a TOS 1.2 1040ST. The reason for this was an auto folder program which was supposed to speed up disk access (as far as I remember). Boot your system without installing anything from the auto folder and see if the problem is still there. If it's not, activate the auto folder prg one by one to see which is to blame.
