Subject:Help needed.....

Hi

I am a new contributer to the list, although I have been subscribing for a
while, butI now have a recent major problem and would appreciate any help or
advice.

Symptoms as follows (deep breath):

I run an Amiga 1200 Apollo 68060 32meg / Ateobus + Pixel 64 graphics card
/ OpusMagellan II. A while ago I had a major crash after a re-install of OS
3.5
and nothing would happen (Possibly caused by installing over Magellan?).

I have today seen Tim Corringham, who after an epic 3 !/2 hour battle got
it booting on my graphics screen, but to do so he had to disable "setpatch"
from the startup sequence, or it wouldn't boot at all.

He also found a command' CAPrefs' in the startup sequence which he could not
identify.

Now, when booting up, an AmigaDos window appears which has a system
request window 'Cant find Work', plus all the other partitions on my HD.
These can
be cancelled away eventually until they all go and the window can be
re-sized smaller to get at the Opus window behind.

Then type in "setpatch" in the"Execute Command" requester, and it will
reboot into my normal screen. However, most of my progs no longer work,
Photogenics, DrawStudio etc., and the system is very slow.

A system check tells me my '060 is there, but "syspeed" is telling me I only
have an '040 running. It does tell me that I have all my memory though.
The '060 library is in place in Libs and all the other libraries seem to be
there.

If anyone can shed any light on this problem(s) I would be very grateful,

Thanks in advance

Jon Sawyer
