dennisp@AIC.NRL.Navy.Mil,

The problem you are encountering is not due to any problems with the
CPU's and the version of the System software.  The problem is with
older versions of some software.  I can tell you right now that
SuperPaint 1.1 is a major problem and if that MacPaint is one of the
original versions (vot 2.0) then it's just too old!

I use MacDraw II all the time on an SE/30 and a IIfx with 2 and 4mb
respectively and I have no problems at all with 6.0.7

I would suggest (STRONGLY) moving all fonts & DAs from your current
System version (esp. ones you don't have back-ups of) into a seperate
file on your HD.

Re-Boot the system with an original Sysytem 6.0.7 Tools disk, open the
system folder and remove the SYSTEM, FINDER & MULTIFINDER files, trash
'em!

Now run the Installer program from the System Tools Disk (make sure
that you have the other three disks handy ... Util. 1, Util. 2 and
Printing Tools).  Select the CUSTOMIZE button, now select the items
you need while holding down the shift key.  (i.e.  for the IIfx: Sys
soft. for IIfx, etc.)

As a general rule, when you get system bombs: check to see that you
are using the current version of whatever software, check for Viruses,
and re-install the system software as I have outlined above!  This
system works 99% of the time for me and the people I support here at
UNH.

If anyone needs more help E-Mail me directly!
