I have had gpl since it came out and has always run pretty good even on my p200mmx and Monster II. Now after installing a new soundblaster live it will not run anymore. Could directx have anything to do with it. I think it installed version 6. It just goes to the first screen and hangs up. Please help, I have a new Abit Bh6,with PII400 coming monday. If it is the directx 6 how do I re-install 5 and were can I find it. Thanks Morris
It's not DX6. I have it on my machine. I would look at the SB Live as the possible culprit. If everything worked up til then, that's where the problem probably is. >I have had gpl since it came out and has always run pretty good even on my >p200mmx and Monster II.

I have BOTH the DX6 and the SBLive!, and everything is OK. I'd be leaning toward DX6 because their is a known problem with it. I haven't experienced it, but there have been quite a few reports about it locking up here. To the original poster... there are new drivers for the card already. http://www.sblive.com -- http://www.users.fast.net/~fusion1 http://www.off-road.com/~fusion1 (dirt bikes, rat bikes, rental car abuse...)

Don't worry, ever since I got GPL, I have quit working, too. Just sitting here driving GPL day and night, and... ...ohhh, your *sound* quit working... ;) Brett On Sat, 31 Oct 1998 23:02:03 -0600, "mjones"
