I just upgraded to an Athlon XP2200+, MSI KT3 Ultra2 motherboard and Maxtor 30gb ata133 hard drive. Installed GPL and..... nothing. Kicks back to desktop straight away. Sometimes I can see a splash screen for a split second but most times not. I have it running on my old system on an NTFS drive so I don't think that would be it. Do I just have too fast a system now??? Vintook P.S. Anyone have GPL running on an XP 2200+?????

I have GPL running correctly on a XP 1900+ (with Windows XP Professional). Probably you have to apply the patches, in particular that one for fast CPUs. Regards. Socius

Yes, you don't need it running on the whole system, just GPL's portion, for those running NTFS. Indexing doesn't function on a FAT32 partition. -- Chris H.
