Common problems

• Selected icons don't look very nice because the icon mask is missing in the CPX modules (Atari thought they would be unnecessary?).

  Alternative:

  You can assign a (colour) icon in MagiC, MagiCMac or MagiC-PC for each CPX module and start the control panels from the desktop. See also "Configuration Examples" above.

• The AUTO folder application ALICE sometimes causes the system to crash. If ALICE is installed and COPS (or other programs such as FONTNAME or MAKEPRN) crash, you should deactivate ALICE.

• If you are running an older TOS version then you should close all modules before you start a new program or terminate a program. For the technically-minded: An error in TOS prevents COPS from being able to deallocate some structures, which in the long run is a sure candidate for crashes.

  Solution:

  Use MagiC, MagiCMac or MagiC-PC!

• Clicking on a scroll arrow in the COPS window (running as an accessory under TOS 3.06) doesn't do anything. This is a well-known bug in TOS 3.06..

• If you have a Falcon and run TOS 4.01, you will see that the size of the sliders in the COPS window is wrong. This is a well-known bug in TOS 4.01.

• If you are running TOS 4.01 on your Falcon you shouldn't attempt to open more than seven windows at the same time, otherwise TOS destroys some internal structures without comment. (**)

  Solution:

  Use MagiC 4 or 5 as operating system.

(**) It is not yet known whether this fault is restricted to TOS version 4.xx!
