Dear Gurus. I've just put a 40G hd and 112 memory into my NuPower 2400. I segmented my hard drive and have installed 7.6.1, 8.6 and 9.1. Each system is configured to act the same through different workarounds. My problem is the control strip in both 8.6 and 9.1. When I shut down or restart most of the time the computer freezes or delivers a message warning me about the control strip extension. I've run Conflict catcher three times and if there's a conflicted extension, I can't find it. When I look up the info on the extension, Conflict Catcher says: "Warning! This file is using more memory in the system heap at startup than it is requesting. You may want to try disabling this file if you are experiencing problems with your system." I can do that but I like the control strip. What is the machine trying to tell me in ordinary language and how can I fix it? Donald McCaig Yucatec Farm Williamsville, Virginia 24487 USA
