! Symptom !! Possible Cause !! Suggested Solution
|-
| Display is flickering; screen is not positioned properly.
| The wrong display mode is selected or the overscan may be set incorrectly.
| Open the ScreenMode editor in the Prefs drawer and select the appropriate display mode. If the screen display is totally indecipherable, you may have to reboot with a different Workbench disk.
|-
| A requester asks you to insert a particular volume into any drive.
| The system cannot find the disk, partition, or assigned directory it is looking for. The disk containing the program may have been removed, renamed, or an ASSIGN was not made.
|Check the volume name in the requester. If it is the name of a floppy disk you have removed, insert that disk. If you have mistyped a volume name in a requester or command, select Cancel, then enter the correct name. If the massage appears while the Amiga is booting, you may need to add an ASSIGN statement to your User-startup file.
|-
