If you have a partition on your HD you could reformat to FAT32 this might solve your problem, some people are reporting problems with GPL-NTFS-WinXP Or if you have another HD you could install GPL to with FAT32 just to see if it works, any old HD will do basically Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com http://www.teammirage.com "Animation isn't the illusion of life; it is life" --Chuck Jones (1912-2002)--

Hello, i had the same problem with GPL under XP and by enabling the indexing service for the gpl directory and all sub-directories, gpl runs perfectly now. John On 17 Apr 2002 08:38:19 -0700, [email hidden] (gonsales) wrote:

This worked for me as well. NOW, however, my "latency" bar is at least at 50% all the time I'm online (w/56k modem), and also have intermttent disco problems I did not have under win98. Any ideas? thx, -ramon
