[Q] any known AMD issues?

Hi, Ken!

Good to know it wasn't a processor issue.  (-:

Glad to hear you worked through it; it's tough to build with a new tool that
isn't working properly.

Gary

  I started from scratch again. This time everything worked except one
glitch
  with Win32NativeFonts: the plugin ends up in the wrong place. On this
  machine, I have Squeak (VM, Image, etc in: "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\NewSqueak".
  When I install Win32NativeFonts via the package Loader, the plugin gets
put
  into: "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\NewSqueak\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\NEWSQUEAK". No big
deal,
  I just move it into the right folder and it works.

  I must have had a virus or something before nuking the HD.
  SqueakVI4-3.4.beta.5156.image is working great again :)

  Thanx,

  Ken
