My experience is that this error is generated by the font manager,
typically when too many font directories are selected. Or perhaps, as
Ian suggested, when a font directory contains a faulty font.

Thanks to you and Ian. Methinks you are right. I tried to start examining
the fonts I have in !Fontastic and got the Buffer overflow error. All I
have to do now is locate the culprit.

Hi,
Can anyone in your group help me with a software technical issue? I am trying to move a programme (Sibelius 7 on Risc PC) back to the
installation disc which is normal when changing computers. However, every time I try to move the icon back to the floppy disc it tells me the
programme is locked to protect the computer. Do you know how I can
'unlock' it?
Many thanks for any info you can give me.
Best wishes,
Barry Peter Ould

Just checking my memory. Is open protected & closed writeable. It's been

The floppy installation disc is not locked. It is the programme on the desktop that gives the locked message when trying to move the icon back
to the floppy installation disc.
The Sibelius programme was designed to be moved back and forth to the
floppy installation disc especially when updating the programme. The
message seems to intimate that either the programme is locked on the
hard drive or the hard dive is locked and I am not sure how to unlock
it? I need to access some old Sibelius 7 files in order to update them
and then import into Sibelius 5 on a PC.

There is a sneaky way of loading a copy of Sibelius on to the Risc
machine but leaving a copy on the installation disc. (I didn't say that.
You haven't heard it from me!) Are you sure that hasn't been done and
there is still a copy on your floppy?
Is the Sibelius 5 a RISC OS version or the Windows version of Sibelius?
I have a sneaking suspicion that you don't need the programme. Just take
the files to your Windows PC. The earlier versions of the Windows
Sibelius recognised the RISC OS versions in some way so you could import them. Is that in your documentation anywhere?

For anyone who ever wondered why this is the opposite behaviour of
audio and video cassettes, the 3.5" floppy inherited this behaviour
from 5.25" floppies which had a notch over which you placed a sticker
to enable write protection.

The whole point is that I cannot move the programme back to the floppy installation disc so the programme is not on the floppy as the
installation window is greyed out! I know all about floppy discs as I
have been using them for years firstly on an old Macintosh then a Risc
PC600 and Risc A4000 then on a Macintosh Performa. The floppy disc is not the problem!
I have Sibelius 7 version 3.05 on the Rich PC600 some of which I can
import into PC Sibelius 4 or 5. The Sibelius 4 and 5 are for PC only and were the last version of the PC versions of Sibelius that allowed you to import files created on the Risc PC versions but they had to be updated to version 3.5 to work. I have the updater for making my version updated to version 3.5. but for this to work, you have to de-install the Sib7 Risc version from the Risc PC back to the floppy installation disc. This is
where my problem is as I cannot move the programme back to the floppy as
it states the programme is locked on the hard drive and cannot be moved to protect the computer! The solution must be quite simple but I just cannot think what it can be!
I have been using Sibelius from the beginning of its life i.e. Sib7 for
Risc PCs through to PC versions 1 - Ultimate 2021. I do not do any work
on the Risc PC version nowadays but have it because of all the old files
of music of which some need to be imported into the PC versions 4 or 5 Sibelius. The problem is not the programme itself but the fact that I
cannot de-install it in order to update it because it is locked!

Would it be possible for you to send the files to someone who has an
updated copy of Sibelius 7 and who could load the v3.05 files and save
them out as v3.5 for you?

Many thanks Chris, that would be a great help. At the moment, it's
just 5 files that need converting to 3.5 or 3.52.
How do I get them to you as they'll have to be copied to a floppy disc.
Can we correspond separately to this forum? I'm located in Huntly, Aberdeenshire.
You can email me at bipo@post.com? If you can let me have your phone
number we can talk about this.

On audio and video cassettes there is a tab. If it is there, it is
write enabled. If you snap it off it is write protected.
