- You obviously do not have enough chip memory to do ANYTHING at the same
- time as DPaint is running. With 512k, you're lucky to get a decent
- resolution with it, especially with a WB in the background. And
- converting GIF's too? Certainly this is the problem. Go to your dealer
- and get the 1M Agnus, have them install it and activate the extra chip
- mem. You will be AMAZED how much less your system will crash for the
- mere fee of $40-50. I had the same problem once upon a time.
