I recently upgraded my system to a AMD 1000 with Geforce2 MX card. Of course I reinstalled W98 and the appropriate drivers like the actual Detonator drivers and DirectX7.0a. Everything works fine, but GPL (V1.2 with Direct3D-patch) does not work. After the initial screen the screen goes black and the system hangs up. Only a reboot helps. What can I do? Jochen
You could try a different monitor refresh rate.

If they only problem is with GPL, then maybe it's GPL there's something wrong with. Try backing-up your current GPL folder (or just renaming it) and doing a fresh install of GPL. Then patch the new install to 1.2, and install the d3d renderer with the correct core.ini settings and see if you still get the same problem. Also try disabling network and modem support in GPL (i think the lines in the core.ini are disable_ipx = 0 and disable_modem = 0, which of course need to be changed to 1). Doing this doesn't stop Vroc working btw. "Jochen Heistermann" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:01c0815c$c5dc5720$[email hidden]...

Omit the final '/)' and it works perfectly. :-) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Rogers <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:948kc7$fq$[email hidden]... > Don't for me ! > >"Works fine for me (http://www.kotr.de/org/) > > >
