I installed At Ease, but while 2.03 runs fine 3.0 does not. It doesn't want to seem to load on startup thus freezing my Basilisk II window, though I can still move the mouse in it.

2.03 runs fine but 3.0 does not. Just curious. Why do you want to run (any version of) At Ease on Basilisk II?

Early Macintosh OSes don't exactly have nice looking desktops, (I'm on SSW 7.5.5) plus I used At Ease a lot while I was at school. Nostalgic factor mainly.

OK, I ask because I used to install At Ease, for institutions "back in the day". On a universal Mac OS 7.5.3 install CD there is At Ease Update 3.0.1, Mac OS 7.5.5 being an incremental update didn't carry the update, but machine specific installs of 7.5.5 would have. On a universal Mac OS 7.6.1 install CD there is At Ease Update 3.0.3, this update includes a lot of fixes. A major fix was for disk corruption to IDE drives of the period, caused by version 3.0. [Edit] it also fixes System Startup Crashes While Using Open Transport (do you have Open Transport installed?)
You could try updating version 3.0 to 3.0.3 using the updater from here. It may or may not help.
However my gut feeling is stick with what works (if all else fails).

The At Ease download here also comes with the 3.0.3 update. That was actually the first one I tried installing and which led to this issue in the first place. I doubt I have Open Transport installed. Installing At Ease 2.0.3 for workgroups also causes a similar startup crash, so I went with the standalone 2.0.3. I wanted to upgrade to 3.0 because there were some programs that 2.0.3 didn't detect right away that I wanted to put onto my At Ease panel, but using the find function in 2.0.3 I was able to find those programs that weren't initially listed. In short, 2.0.3 does what I'm looking for already, so I'll just stick with that one for now.

At Ease 3.0 occasionally works in Basilisk II, I have to test it now. By the way, someone believes that At Ease 3.0 and above requires MMU. Thread from Emacluation, see kataetheweirdo's post.
Several Performa restore discs have At Ease installed, find it yourself in this site.
