ehhhh.... i opened 'er up, took the toaster out, disassembled it and put it back together, cleaning as i went along my way. no luck.
it appears to have deeper issues... if I just leave it on the workbench for 3-10 minutes some times it will just go to a blank screen (once again, no color monitor to figure out what color it actually is).
i didn't notice this until today but my hard drive only has 722k free (on a 50mb drive) which seems curious being that not much is on it... well, i guess video toaster is huge, but still, can't find much to get rid of..
i'm also confused as to why my RAM disk appears to say 100% full, 0k free, 15k in use. at least i think that is what it says, my monitor situation is poor... i just won a 1084s so that should help make things more decipherable.
thanks everybody for your time,
cheers
