Lines: 25 Nntp-Posting-Host: masada Ok, I just installed 8 80ns SIMMs in my '030 cube. Then I notice the windows occasionally leaving dirt behind. Looks like a software problem (2.0), but I hadn't seen anything like it before. Edit also seems to crash now, probably no relation. I had jumped into the monitor, using the mon command from the NMI mini monitor (stupidly) to use the m command and see my new memory, (it was there), so I figured perhaps I had currupted a file. I tried booting off a vanilla 2.0 OD, and the problem showed up there. I rebooted off the OD, and it went away. . . Now it seems gone when I boot off my hard disk, but I don't see it really being gone. Anybody seen this before, know of a fix, etc? I don't know if it's connected to the memory, doubt that it's connected to a currupted file (since the OD exhibited the same thing), or what. Any help is appreciated, Dan -- Daniel Mark Gessel Internet: gessel@cs.swarthmore.edu I do not speak (nor type) representing Swarthmore College.
