Apologies for the delayed response; busy re-conditioning my kitchen furniture etc. Have to take advantage of the last few days of relatively warm/dry weather for spraying!

From the screenshot you posted it is evident that the initial Display setup is failing to set up the big table to translate Squeak colour values to RISC OS ones. I’m fairly sure it is the call to read the depth required for the palette since the failure seems to be on line 671 of platforms/RiscOS/vm/sqRPCWindows.c - which I can assert from reading the executable in the text editor (not actually witchcraft since the RISC OS text editor can disassemble executables and display them in nice clean assembler format).

The only likely candidate I can come up with is the process of building the root window failed to actually create a window and set the handle element of the window structures I keep in a linked list (this is part of the Ffenestri system for multiple host windows)  *except* if the create-a-window OS call failed it would have raised a fatal error in a different place. See platforms/RiscOS/vm/sqRPCWindows.c  ll:1013 for example.

So I’m currently baffled. On my admittedly very old Pi SD card with RISC OS it works perfectly well for the default screen depth. Did you by any chance change anything at all to do with screen size or depth, either in RISC OS or Squeak?

I’ll try to download the latest RISC OS sometime but I’m kinda swamped right now so please don’t hold your breath for any answers!
