Help needed... Please insert Locale??

02 June 2013, 20:40

Hi this is my first post on here. I have an Amiga 1200 with 8mb expansion, and WHDLoad installed on a 4gb CF Card(Bought off ebay) preloaded with loads of games. It was registered but I removed the key as I want to register it myself so it's all legit!

The problem I have now is everytime I switch it on, it loads then asks for a disk called "LOCALE". It never used to up until today. I did put a new battery in the RAM card and set the time and date etc. Would that have caused it, anyone know how to fix it? Its doing my head in. I'm a bit of a n00b with this WHDload.

Check s:startup-sequence. There should be a line reading

Assign >NIL: LOCALE: SYS:Locale

Make sure that
1. the line is present in s:startup-sequence
2. sys:locale exists as a directory.

Here is the complete startup-sequence for reference: http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online...p-Sequence.txt

Excellent, cheers. The problem was there was no Locale directory in System. So I just created a directory and called it Locale, its empty but it has fixed the problem. Thanks a lot!
