Hi all RISC OS fivers. When I booted Nixiyo (my Iyonix PC) today, just as it got to desktop, but before the RISC OS 5 banner, a Wimperror message rudely popped up saying "Buffer overflow". Reporter (thanks to Martin Avison) said at this point: 19:18:54.80 ** WimpError ** from Repeat Error : &000001E4 Message: Buffer overflow 19:18:54.80 [Appl/1D603884] Exec I acknowledged this message and the bootup completed to the usual desktop. Looking at the Reporter log, this came at the point where the applications in the Utilities directory should have been booted. The bootup skipped this and did the rest of the bootup. I wondered whether there was just too much in the Utilities directory. I had saved TextEff151/zip (Text Effects) the last time I used Nixiyo and wondered whether this was the last straw that broke Nixiyo's boot. I removed this zip file, rebooted and, hey presto, no error. Before removing the file, a count of the directory showed 10,524 files and 210,151,748 bytes. There were also 112 objects (files or directories) at the top level. After removing the file, the byte count was 209,852,607 bytes with the other two numbers reduced by 1. I don't know which numbers if any are relevant. I have never had this error before and hope I have cured the problem. Any comments?
