It never ceases to amaze me that people keep asking questions like this.
At ASDG, we continually get calls with questions like: 

	User: "your <so and so> product doesn't work on my machine"
	Me: "Oh, are you running anything else at the time of the failure?"
	User: "Well, I'm running <x + x +x>^2 PD hack, could that be a problem?"
	Me: "Did you try running without them?"
	User "No, could that really make a difference?"

The answer is: Yes!!!

This should be rule one in anyone's book of debugging their Amiga
environment. It's a simple process of elimination - who knows if you'll
*have* to permanently remove those utilities you love, but you're certainly
gonna have to try running without them to see if it makes a difference.
Some utilities may eat chip memory that some other application desperately
needs, or may grab some other critical resource. If you start afresh, the
problem will be much easier to track down.
