Conflict Catcher "known problems" remain; Speed Startup gone

CNET staff
CC8 known problems The Read Me file for Conflict Catcher 8.0.8 reveals that two significant "known problems" in the previous version still remain:

    Startup menu and Multiple partitions The Startup menu will be unable to select a different disk on a machine with the New World ROM. These machines include all iMacs, 1999 Lombard PowerBooks (bronze keyboard) and later, B/W G3s, iBooks, and G4s. Choosing a different System Folder on the same disk will function correctly. We hope to correct this in a future update to Conflict Catcher.

    Rebuilding the desktop and Aladdin StuffIt Deluxe Rebuilding the desktop database while the Mail Extension feature in StuffIt Deluxe v5.0 (or earlier) is on, will cause an empty desktop database to be created. This will result in generic icons being drawn in the Finder.

Speed Startup dropped As pointed out by several readers (including Frank Piccolo), the Speed Startup web page states: "Casady & Greene will no longer be publishing Speed Startup, and there will not be any future development for this product."
