This may be the problem I'm seeing since installing OS 3.5
I am setting up the icons to match my likes. For instance I'm positioning my hard drive Real Icons on my WorkBench screen. I pick up one of the icons I moved earlier and move it over tow pixels. When I drop it the icon disappears. The mouse pointer can still be moved. As soon as I click the mouse on the WorkBench screen it freezes at that position nad the whole system stays frozen. I have to reboot (CNTRL-A-A).
It's not just any one icon. The problem has occourred with a number of different icons. It's not a memory issue as it's happened with lots of apps running and it's happened right after a boot.
It may be tied to the fact that I didn't do a virgin install. I backed up my boot partition then installed over top that AmigaDOS 3.1 system. I am still using the same Startup-sequence I used to.
Are there any specific 3.1 commands I should watch out for? Is this disappearing icons/freezing system a known thing?
I typed up an on-line report to Amiga Tech Support over a weel ago, on their webpage when I registered but I've yet to get a reply.
