I'm wondering if it's the replay writing to the disk...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Andrew
Don't know, but, you can adjust the amount of memory used for replays
in your core.ini, so you might want to play with it and see.
Add these lines to the end of your core.ini file
[ Replay ]
replayMemoryOverride = 16000
depending how much memory you have you could try 16000 or 32000 or
64000.

I'll see if that does it.

odds are it is some task in the background ... shutdown _all_ programs
before you start GPL.
if you are short on ram, windows might start swapping at that time. in
that case, try to set the swapfile to a minimum size of at least double
your physical ram. if you have just 64MB (or maybe even less!), buy
another 64MB.

BTW, I don't have Microsoft Office (at least I don't think I do) but I do have
Microsoft Works, which came with the computer.
Any suggestions?
thx

Ok, swap file size.
Locate the My Computer icon on your desktop
Right click on it.
Click on the Tab that says "Performance"
Then click on the "Virtual Memory" button
Next, make sure you've chosen "let me specify my own virtual memory
settings"
Then select a drive that you want your .swp (swap) file to be on.
Then select a maximum .swp file size (generally you want to make the swap
file size 2x your physical memory size, so if you are like me and have
128mb, your swap file size would be 256mb.
If that doesnt work for you you can always go back and let windows manage
the virtual memory for you..
Hope this helps
