- Sounds like that is what he already did - he did say INSTALLED, not COPIED!
-

- I had a similar problem with 3.2 - installed EXACTLY as per the installer,
- but the stuff still crashed. After days of people telling me "You must
- use the installer" and "delete any muimaster libraries in libs: 'cos
- they must only be in MUI:libs" the answer finally arrived in the form of a
- bugfix library from Stefan of AmiNET - yes, there WAS a bug (or bugs)
- in 3.2! Ah well...

- Then why the hell does MUI not helpfully report that it is finding an
- old library? At least this would give the user an indication of the
- problem. Its like me phoning the garage and saying "My car does not
- work - fix it".
-
-
- I guess what I am saying is that it seems that people assume that any
- problem is due to poor installation - this is not always the case, and
- a little bit of decent error reporting from MUI would certainly help.
-
-
- BTW, what difference is there between 3.3 and 3.2+bugfix? Just want to know
- if I need to upgrade again.
