In RISC OS, "Broken Directory" indicates disc corruption. In this case, it looks like the directory in which the screen configuration is stored ( !Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk.Configure - or perhaps one of its parents ) has been damaged. Can you open and read files from that directory in the filer? Does *checkmap report problems? "Broken Directories" are much easier to get if the machine crashes (or is reset) without dismounting/shutting down properly. They're also a pain to fix without special software (e.g. http://www.armclub.org.uk/products/discknight/ ) although very occasionally *checkmap can help too. Also it's sometimes possible to rename the broken directory and create a fresh one in its place, but that's just shuffling the problem to one side :) If all else fails, it's the good ol' backup, reformat, restore routine :-/ TTFN, Adny -- Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn | Personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] kann man uns am Himmel sehn | Techie: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wir haben Angst und sind allein | WWW: verelanthe.co.uk/musus/ Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein! | UT: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Rammstein / Engel _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
