This is relatively bad news. Acornet boots Resources.*, !newsdir then
Apps.*.
It doesn't appear to be getting out of resources, as the last entry
in the log you supplied (Resources.!WebHelper) does not have a 'Done'
line, and I can't see what's different about WebHelper that should
cause a problem with it.
Ah, I just read your other message. It's stopping at webhelper
because of the error message you mentioned. I totally fail to see
any reference to !WebHelper.!Help anywhere inside of Acornet, so I
can't see why it should be trying to run that.
Does it do this when run from a clean boot?
(ie. switch the computer on with shift help down, then (holding
control all the time), !Acornet and doubleclick on it. Then release
control.
For want of a better immediate solution, try deleting !WebHelper from
the !Acornet.Apps directory.
If anyone else has problems with 'bootapps', please let me or the
list know. It works perfectly on my RiscPC and on my A3020, with and
without NewerLook loaded, so I'm rather at a loss as to why it goes
wrong!
Cheers,
Joseph
