My amiga freezes because of select.gadget prefs???

keropi · 14 December 2005, 12:02

Ok, here is some strange stuff:

I recently (after upgrading fully to pci bus) experienced lock-ups... mainly in: visualprefs app, and some other like the config for amiga-duke3d ... I thought OK, no big deal, everything else works, so fudge it! but today I wanted to start the full-pallete prefs program and the amiga froze again! wtf? I run snoop-dos, and before the freeze (both in duke3d prefs and fpallete) it says that it loads OK the select.gadget and that it fails to load the env:select.prefs ... then it freezes... any ideas?

oh, and the lockups appear AFTER I intall the ATE themes... before that all is fine, is it birdie to blame?

UPDATE: I just renamed select.gadget to -select.gadget and ALL progs work fine now... wtf???

anyone has an older select.gadget 40.17 so I can test ??? keropi_666(@)yahoo.com

Rename select.prefs and try again. What happens?

there is no select.prefs file...

problem solved!
I had also cycletomenu comodity, that caused problems with select.gadget... (makes sense since they do the same thing...) removed cycletomenu from wbstartup, and now I have that nifty transparency effect in menus
