I can't get it to even start. See the splash screen then drops to desktop.
I'm using NTFS. Anyone else using XP and NTFS and have GPL running fine?

I'm running fine from day one, its NTFS on boot partition,
never had any problem with it. I did a fresh install from CD
and copied my former GPL folder over it.

Ahhh, that might be the problem. I seem to remember reading that GPL has to
be on the boot partition if using NTFS. Thx for the reminder. If that
doesn't fix it then it must be my video card.

I'm up and running fine now too. One note (see other post) is that the
driver that comes with XP doesn't support OpenGL on the Radeon card.

I ran it just fine when I was playing around with XP Pro. Only problem was
my POS Aureal Vortex2 sound card and constant popping and crackling and
eventually the sound going out all together.

NTFS? I just thought of somehting that might be causing it. The refresh rate
is being screwed with by GPL maybe. I'll install multires and see if that
fixes it.

Well, putting it on the C: drive made no difference for me. I'm not using
the XP boxed drivers. Have tried GPL on the beta ATI XP drivers and am now
using optimized Omega drivers. Same problem on both.

I had this exact problem on 2000. I put another hard drive in and installed
on that and it worked fine, whether NTFS or fat32. If I copied this working
install over to my boot drive it stopped working and started crashing
straight to desktop again.

I think this was some sort of NTFS issue. It's probablt all different under
XP anyway.

Try turning compression off in your GPL folder.

Is that a standerd setting? I assume it would be under properties?

Really? That may be why mine works on one system, but not the other. The one
it WORKS on is Fat32. I'll have to check the other one when I get into the
office. It might be NTFS, done for file security testing...

I tired it on the boot partition using NTFS and it was still no go. I'm not
going back to FAT32 just for one game either, even if it is GPL.

OK thx, I've got two harddrives, both NTFS, but I'll try it on the second HD
and see.

I don't have compression on.

Yes, if you are using NTFS. Properties, then advanced button. It's off by
default anyway.
