This is one of those strange things that you wonder if it really happened and whether it will self correct as soon as you mention it. I have run DPhotolab before on my GVP board and got it to work just fine. However, I had a problem with my GVP dying on me, I got a new one that has worked great. About a week ago I wanted to run DPhotolab and as soon as the program loaded, it locked up tight. Did the 3 finger reset, loaded Photo, same thing, turned it off, loaded photo, same thing. I booted off the floppy that photo is on, loaded photo, all was OK. The inconvenience is minor, I rarely use the program, but I do like things to work the way I expect them to... not the way they want to! Any ideas? Oh, I turned Fastrom off, cache and burst off as well. Thanks, mike scribner ponca city, OK

Could it require the original disk to be in a drive? Deluxe Photolab is not copy protected. I use it all the time from a hard disk (2000, A2090, Miniscribe 40Mb) without problems. There is one annoying habit in the Paint program that it will refuse to fire up if it can't get enough memory for the mode picture selected (it usually happens to me when multitasking and trying to open an interlaced HAM picture). This might be causing some other spurious error with the GVP card (sheer speculation on my part). I have noticed that memory interactions between programs can cause lockups or can destroy a program previously loaded (Mymenu seems to get clobbered easily, for example). In other words, check what is running besides Photolab and try to isolate it that way, it may have exactly nothing to do with the GVP hardware. -- Hal O'Connell COGNOS Incorporated UUCP: uunet!lsuc!nrcaer!cognos!halo or uunet!watmath!sce!cognos!halo or halo@cognos.UUCP
