Just upgraded my CPU to an Athlon XP 2000+ and installed the high-speed cpu fix for GPL, but now I get an error message indicating that GPL, 'cannot initialize replay system'. I updated my motherboard too and increased system RAM....don't know if that is relevant. Before I get into nitty gritty system details, can anyone point to an easy solution? Thank you

GPL has a limit of 512mb of ram. Either create a ramdisk to take up the extra ram, turn it off via windows or yank the extra stick out.. dave henrie "SS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Just upgraded my CPU to an Athlon XP 2000+ and installed the high-speedcpu

It works fine for me with 1GB of system ram. If you are using <W2K/XP/NT, you just need to limit the vcache to less than 512M if you have over 512M of physical memory.

The simpler way to do it is just increase the replay overide buffer in the core.ini file. Change or add these 2 lines to your core.ini file [ Replay ] replayMemoryOverride = 128000 The 128000 bit is a RAM number. You can increase or decrease it until GPL works. 128k should be ok though. Kev
