So it happened to him too? Interesting. The same thing happens to me here.

Sometimes (!?) StormMesa demos are asking for ScreenMode to chose. And
sometimes it just works on Workbench. What it might be?

Also, sometimes it happens that some demos are playing sooo sloooow, and when
reboot & try again - they work good. Very strange.

Here is one thing I don't get it:

When I had 040 ppc on 200 mhz, DISTORT demo worked fantastic and every time I
started it opened on Workbench! Only once (!) it started to work on separate
24bit full screen (!?) even screen mode choser never appeared.

Now when I have 060 ppc on 166mhz - Distort does NOT work anymore. Amiga just
freezes when attempt to start RunDistort icon.

Any ideas?

Regards
