>I'm not sure about this, but you might need to reinstall GPL's two wdm

>(papycpu.sys and papyjoy.sys) in GPL's home directory.  Copy them to your
>c:\windows\system32\drivers directory.  There should also be a .reg file in
>GPL's home directory (papycpu.reg).  Double click on this file to update
>your registry.  Then reboot.  This may not solve the problem, but won't
>hurt anything (this same procedure is done automatically when you install
