w98 & GPL lockUps

upon starting GPL and running 1 lap to see if new sys works, all is well until...car setup, go to reduce fuel load, press 'save as' and as soon as i type a name the entire sys seizes. i can't cntl-alt-del, i cant even restart with power button! i must shut off the power to clear it. i have a 500m p3- 256m ram this happens whether i am online or not. any ideas? thanks BoBruce

Well a general rule of thumb is that if you can cntl-alt-del it is a software problem. If you cannot cntl-alt-del it is a hardware problem/conflict. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

I had a similar prob, and removing the Your__Name folder from the players folder and then setting up a new player solved it. (NO idea why, but as soon as I put it back in it locked again) Remember to backup your setups -- Ian Parker ICQ 21772592
