The idea of this column is that if you have any queries, questions or
problems with your ST, then you can write in with them and I'll try my best
to answer them. If I can't, then I'll ask about and if we still don't get
an answer, we'll put it to the POWER readers.
Your query can be about anything ATARI related, whether you want to know
how to format a disk or what's so good about the Falcon...We'll help you!
If you are writing about a problem with your ST, give us as much
information about your ST as possible, i.e. the TOS version, amount of
memory and so on.
Send your problems and queries to the normal POWER address. Meanwhile,
here is this month's Technical Help Corner...

Dear POWER,
I am having a lot of problems with accessories on my STE. I have
4 megabytes of memory and TOS 1.62 but I can't get any of the accessories to
work. I have heard that some things don't work on STE's or 4 megabyte
machines. Is that the problem or am I doing something wrong?
From Graham Johnson
POWER REPLIES:
You don't actually specify the problem that you are encountering but at a
guess, I'd say that the accessories simply aren't appearing in the drop-down
menu as required. This is nothing to do with the type of ST you have,
all you have to do is make sure that your accessories are in the root
directory, that is to say that they are not in any folders. Also, make sure
that the file extender is .ACC.

Dear POWER,
Where can I get a monitor with all three resolutions? I'm fed up
having to use one screen for one program and one for another.
From Paul Day
POWER REPLIES:
There isn't a monitor that supports all three ST resolutions as far as I
know. Sorry.

Dear POWER,
I have just bought a colour printer so that I can print out colour
letterheads and business cards for myself but it seems that I have wasted
my money because I can't get anything to print out in colour. I have a
colour ribbon and everything seems to be plugged in correctly so have I got
a broken ST, broken printer or damaged software?
From R. Beasel
POWER REPLIES:
The problem is the printer driver. Most printer drivers (especially old
ones) don't support colour print-outs. The printer driver is the thing
that tells your printer what to to. Some P.D.L.'s sell disks of drivers or
failing that, look out for packages which boast colour print-outs. Before
you do that though, with the program you are using, go to the printer option
and there should be some sort of printer set-up thing somewhere, sometimes
you can select colour from there so read the manuals and experiment before
going out and spending your hard-earned cash on a new package which prints
in colour.
