Possible Cause

Suggested Solution
|
|
Display is flickering;
screen is not positioned properly.
|
The wrong display mode is selected
or the overscan may be set incorrectly.
|
Open the ScreenMode editor in the Prefs drawer and select
the appropriate display mode. If the screen display is totally indecipherable, you may have to reboot with a different
Workbench disk.
|
|
A requester asks you to
insert a particular volume into any drive.
|
The system cannot find the disk,
partition, or assigned directory it is looking for. The disk containing the program may have been removed, renamed,
or an ASSIGN was not made.
|
Check the volume name in the requester. If it is the name
of a floppy disk you have removed, insert that disk. If you have mistyped a volume name in a requester or command,
select Cancel, then enter the correct name. If the massage appears while the Amiga is booting, you may need to
add an ASSIGN statement to your User-startup file.
|
|
A requester states that
there is not enough memory to load a program.
|
You have too many programs running
and there is not enough RAM left to start another program.
|
Close any unnecessary windows and exit unnecessary programs.
|
|
You cannot move the pointer
and keyboard input has no effect.
|
A program has crashed the Amiga
Keylock systems may have lock on.
|
Reboot.
Turn key to enable position.
|
|
The screen goes blank and
then a flashing red box appears stating an error, such as Not Enough Memory.
|
A program performed an illegal
action that was serious enough to cause a system failure.
|
Press the left mouse button and the computer reboots.
|
|
A flashing amber box appears
stating Recoverable Alert.
|
A program performed an illegal
action that caused an error from which the system can recover.
|
Press the left mouse button.
|
|
Shortly after booting,
a requester appears saying "Program <name> has not returned yet. Shall I wait some more?"
|
You started a program from the
WBStartup drawer and Workbench is waiting for it to finish.
|
Select the requester's Cancel gadget. To prevent the appearance
of this requester in the future, add the Tool Type DONOTWAIT in the program's information window.
