2953.0. "1.3 rom / ShoWiz problem?" by HPSCAD::GATULIS (Frank Gatulis) Fri Mar 16 1990 05:44

    
   I just installed a 1.3 kickstart ROM in my 2000 and something funny
    has happened. 
    
    I have a bunch of IFF pic's on my hard disk which no longer work
    when I double click their ICON.  The default tool is ShoWiz which
    I've used for a long time without problems.  What happens now when
    I double click on the ICON is:
      1. Screen fades to black (which it did before)
      2. Picture seems to be loading from hard disk (same as before)
      3. Pointer re-appears (as it did before) but the screen remains
          black (aside from the pointer).  I can't seem to get out of
           this without a re-boot.
    
    If I view the pictues with another tool (ie ViewILBM) everything
    seems ok.  This is the only problem I can find.  
    
    Has anyone else seen this?  Any other good viewers around.
    
    (PS - I really don't want to swap out the 1.3 rom out to proove
            there may be a compatability problem. )
    
    Thanks
    Frank

ShowWIZ probably is naughty and talks to ROM routines by address. 1.3 will
have shifted the address of some.

2953.2No problem here...PUERTO::ALVAREZSo much work to do...so little timeMon Sep 25 1989 09:324
    	I have an AMIGA 1000 and boot with Kickstart & WB 1.3. I have
    recently used SHOWIZ with no problems.

    I have a 2000 with 1.3 roms,  and I frist tried SHOWIZ about a month
    ago and did not have any problem.  How recent is your version?  I had
    the impression that when I got a copy of it, last month it was a new
    version.  It did have some slick transitions,  and would be great to
    put together a slide show,  but for normal viewing I use SuperView,  so
    I haven't done much with it.

RE: .1   There is a later version of ShoWiz that works with V1.3. I'll
         upload it unless someone already has.

    Paul,
    
    Thanks for the reply.  I'd appreciate an upload.   I downloaded
    what I thought was a new version this weekend but it was the same
    as the one I had ages ago.
    
    FYI - The version I have is an even size (either 23000 or 28000
    bytes, I can't remember which).  I runs fine with the 1.3 WB.
    I didn't notice the problem until I installed the 1.3 kikstart
    ROM.
