Just did a fresh install of GPL, rebooted, updated to 1.2x, added the D3D and CPU patches, and tried to run it (set to software initially). The splash screen comes up, the monitor clicks like its changing resolution, flashes black for a second, then back to the desktop I go. I tried addin the D3D lines to core.ini (renamed from core.ini.sample) per the readme and changed the rasterizer line in app.ini to the d3d.dll and still same results. Reset video to disable FSAA and Anistropic and still same results. Am I missing something? I swear it ran on this machine before... Even tried putting a. Open-Glide DLL in and pointing it to that, same results..

Win XP Pro
PIV 3gz (800mz)
1 gig PC 3500
2x120GB in RAID 0 (240GB)
ATI 9800 Pro 128 - Omega 4.7 drivers
SoundMax on-board sound

All drivers up to date.

Thanks for ANY help.

Sheesh.. :blush:

Turned Indexing On in services and set it to enabled for \GPL and its subfolders. Works perfectly.

Maybe something to add to the GPL Setup Guide, as most people run XP now..
