- All you have to do to get rid of this problem is to edit your Startup-Sequence
- and make sure that ALL programs run before IPrefs are directed to NIL: To do
- that you should add " >NIL:" to the end of all command lines run before IPrefs.
- What will happen now is that when you reboot you will get a white screen with
- nothing on it until IPrefs is run, then the Workbench *should* open correctly
- at that time using the font & screensizes set by you in preferences.
