- <> I just upgraded my Amiga 2000 from OS 2.05 to OS 3.1 and encountered
- <> the following problem:
- <>
- <> The pointer comes up in a messy green/brown color; and the busy pointer
- <> is a sickly yellow. The Pointer tool "knows" the correct defaults;
- <> it just doesn't use them automatically. I partially kludged the problem
- <> away by saving the defaults in a file and putting a line is my user-startup
- <> file that calls the pointer preferences tool, but this isn't completely
- <> satisfactory - if I change any other preferences then the pointer goes
- <> back to "the mess" and I have to reset it manually.
- <>
- <> Not a major problem, just an annoyance. Obviously I have nothing better
- <> to do than to be annoyed.
- <>
- <> Anyhow ... has anyone else encountered this problem?
- <> For that matter is there available anywhere a list of known 3.1 upgrade
- <> problems?
-
- The fix is a simple one. Go into your
- SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys directory and
- delete the pointer.prefs file. Now go to your pointer editor
- and resave the settings. All should be well after the next
- reboot.
