Can any one help with this little problem?
I have a Mediator with Voodoo 3 card, when I click on Directory Opes 4.12 or if I try version 4.16 it loads up fine but if I try to alter the prefs I get a loacked up screen.
I have taken the original Dopus prefs out and tried that, but its no good.
It loads up o.k but I just cannot use the prefs to change any thing.
I tried Dopus 5.5 and that wwworks fine I can alter the settings and all sorts with no hitch.
Does any one else have this problem at all with Dopus 4.12/4.16?


I use OS3.9 by the way....


TIA,

Mike....

This is probably because DirOpus is opening a *native screen* (PAL/NTSC). Older versions of DirOpus4 sometimes did this, even if they were supposed not to do it.

I suggest you you download the latest public version from the website and then update it with the latest beta archive. This way, the DOpus prefs programm should always open on your Workbench or DOpus' own screen.

Unlikely but possible: It could be that there are no more pens free on your workbench screen - ConfigOpus would then be forced to open its window on a seperate screen (theoretically, this screen should be a gfx card screen, but perhaps you stumbled across a known bug).

Open Prefs/Workbench and reduce the icon rendering quality to "low" (or whatever it's called). Reboot and try to enter DOpus' prefs programm again.

I still use the older version you can get off the dopus 4 research site. I use the settings and select open in workbench screen and it uses a window in my RTG display just fine. Give it a try. I use a Pegasos and MorphOS, but it shouldnt matter.
