Friday morning i received what it's supposed to be a great gamecard ( PDPI L4 ) and since i try to install it properly, i have a lot of problems. The biggest problem i have right now it's about the fact that i can't go anymore in my Win95 CONTROL PANEL. Each time i tried to access i have this message: Program error not enough space for environment. And i should reboot everytime. Actually my PDPI L4 is removed and i replug my Thrusmaster T1 in my SB Live gameport but i can't recalibrate it because i can't access anymore to my win95 CONTROL PANEL. So what's wrong with my computer and what could ( should ) i do to be OK ????? Thanks in advance Guy C?t, teammate of Eric C?t at:[link lost in import]

you can add more environment space by adding the following into config.sys shell=c:\command.com /e:512 /p if 512 is not enough change it to 1024. Sounds like your pdpi set some variable in your configuration file(s). No big deal....Good luck.

i will try. Thanks !!!! Guy > you can add more environment space by adding the following into config.sys > shell=c:\command.com /e:512 /p > if 512 is not enough change it to 1024. Sounds like your pdpi set some > variable in your configuration file(s). No big deal....Good luck.
You can try searching in C:\windows\system for files that have the .cpl extension. These are the files that create the icons and open as applets in Control Panel. It sounds like there is a misbehaving one, probably installed by the installer for your new card. Try to figure out what each one might be, or right click on it and choose 'properties'. It will tell you what each one is for on the 'version' tab. You might also find that the file you want has the same date as the day you installed the card, whereas most of them will have the same date as the rest of the Windows files (7/11/95= Win95 5/11/98= Win98) When you find it, change the extension (or just delete the whole thing) and then try and start control panel. Seems like Control Panel might be *** on the applet installed by the card and maybe it won't have that probelm if you remove the source this way.

Yes Daxe, Thank you very much because indirectly i thinked to right click on joy.cpl and choose open with control panel. EUREKA, it worked great. So now my Wheel/Pedals is calibrated now !! Guy
!! I figure if I can actually be helpful now and again it buys me license to be rude, snide and insulting once in a while. Something about karma, probably.
