Hello,

I've PII350/128MB/Hercules Dynamite TNT and a SB LIVE!
I've played GPL before on this system but i had to change Harddisks
(From very old SCSI to a Quantum Fireball 10.2GB)

Now GPL will not start, i get the start up screen and after a while a
black screen, then without an error message i'm back at my w98 desktop
:-(

I tried several installations (Full, tipical, the 1.1 patch, with the
opengl beta (i get a stackdump), Hercules drivers,Nvidia drivers)....

The only thing that could be is that i when i installed it the first
time (1/2/ year ago) i had a good old SB16 instead of the Live!

Anyone got an idea what i'm forgetting to do or to change ?

Please HELP :-(((

Hi,
i had a similar problem, and i resolved by changing type of screen (to a
plug and play vesa dcc). I noticed that also screen resolution and color
depth has some (bad) influence on Gpl when the video is not set properly.
good luck
David
