I installed a couple of oval tracks to my gpl directory (using the
converter ) but now GPL wont start up, I get messages like "Not enough free
memory to run gpl.exe"
I re installed GPL on my other hard drive and it works fine ....Why is that?

Your harddisk might have been nearly full. Since Windows might use it as
virtual memory, this could be interpreted as a lack of memory.

Windows isn't very clever with its virtual memory: simultaniously, windows
uses HD-space as virtual memory and RAM-space as disk-cache. Therefore, it
is possible that valuable physical memory is used for disk-caching in order
to speed up disk-acces while your system is slowed down because the memory
is full and virtual memory is used....

My advice: use as little Virtual memory as possibel.

grtngs,
hgrm

You can copy everything to your new directory (backup first!). It should
work. If it doesn't then one of the addons is the problem

good luck!
hgrm
