- Well to me it sounds like you are using a screen blanker that can't handle a
- higher priority task getting all the CPU time or something similar. I
- suggest you try with running any third party software and no AmigaOS screen
- blanker (they have released at least one buggy one).
-
- If you find that you still have the problem and have ruled out all third
- party software try narrowing it to when you use the mouse or when you run
- certain MSDOS software email tech support with a full bug report.
