Odds & Ends

a. Shut down freeze in 7.6.1 Regarding the previously mentioned shut down freeze problem, Ed Lovelace offers yet another possible fix: Disable PointCast Monitor Engine.

b. CopyPaste freeze There may be a startup freeze conflict between the newly released CopyPaste 3.3.1a and PPPMenu 2.0.2. Reverting to CopyPaste 3.3 fixes the problem (as spotted on the MRP).

Update: Julian Miller of Script Software writes: "We think people should use the latest CopyPaste 3.3.1a and rearrange the loading order of extensions.

In particular, they received the following reader report: "The problem results when the PC Exchange Control Panel loads before the FreePPP Menu Control Panel."

d. Floppy disk not mounting: Jacques Lederrey writes: "I had the same problem on my 7200/90 with 7.6.1: removing Glidel (a shareware extension that extends Apple's drag and drop feature) solved the problem.
