Intuition Prefs daemon problem:

Another strange one with my A530..

When booting, I'm presented with the following error message:

Intuition Prefs daemon problem:
bad screefont.prefs file

The boot halts until I click the only option which is Give up, upon which it continues to boot into Workbench fine.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix the screenfont.prefs file, please?

delete it?


is it in prefs/envarc you may have to "show all files" to see it if its there in the first place,or even move it.


although i havent used workbench 2 for years.or even deamon

then try to save the deamon settings.

Have sorted it.

For some reason it was looking for a font that doesn't exist. Very strange. Maybe there are some bad blocks on the HD...

Are there any chkdisk type utilities available for the Amiga?
