graphic updates, etc, I tried copying it over to my NTFS partition. I made sure
that to allow indexing on the GPL folder and........ it works!
So, now I have 2 identical working GPL installations on my system, one NTFS and
one FAT32.
Now, can someone remind of what XP's default setting was for the Indexing
Service? (Manual or disabled).?
