Quite awhile ago, I remember a thread in this NG which addressed how to get GPL to run on a system with more than 512 Megs of RAM. It had something to do with adding a line in the [vcache] setting of system.ini, I think. Can anyone provide me that info? This is for a friend who's getting RAM-related error messages on his system when he throws in a 3rd stick if 256 megs. He doesn't run GPL, but I thought that my question might solve his problem. Thanks, Guys.

Not strictly about GPL, it sounds like what you're referring to is the Win98 glitch whereby a pc loses the plot when 98 and >512mb ram used. Add/modify the MaxFileCache setting in the System.ini file to reduce the maximum amount of memory that Vcache uses to 512 megabytes (524,288 KB) or less. Example: [VCache] MaxFileCache=524288
