So...I've plugged my old Amiga harddisk into my PC and copied the partitions over, stored as folders on my D: drive.

I've installed WinUAE 1.5.0 final.

I've created a config that matched my Amiga hardware.

I boot up the emulator, get into Workbench (with all the correct backdrop, icons etc).

An 'IDEFix97 evaluation' window pops up - which is odd, as I had the full registered version installed on my Ami hard disk. Up then pops a reminder window to pay the IDEFix97 fee.

Before I can click anything, the screen starts flashing two shades of black (interesting, eh?).

I figure since it's an emulator, I don't need to have IDEFix97 running, so I comment "C:IDEFix97" out of the startup-sequence. Now if I boot it up, it seems to get partway through the startup-sequence but doesn't complete as the black screen remains.

Any thoughts? And do I need IDEFix97 installed and running? How do I uninstall it?
