ran a treat before...all hardware exactly same, athlon xp 2100+ so all layouts were fine before with no configuring...still win xp pro with sp1
only differences were norton av2003 (had 2002 before) uninst this but no difference, also ran windows update got some fixes etc that didn't have before including directx 9 (had 8.1 before i think)
gonna try booting in safe mode if i can work out how otherwise i'm stumped...tried changing priority but just uses 99% processor time as soon as i load any table, dx or classic, pc back to normal when i quit...
btw thanks for replying, this forum is pretty quiet didn't think anyone would!!
