I've also come across this problem but I found that if you leave it going for long enough (a couple of minutes usually) it _does_ come up. I'm using a 386-40 8 megs. Top shows it using all free CPU time the whole time. Once it does come up, however, I found it failed to set the palette correctly and was exruciatingly (spel?) slow to do anything. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ | Brian Havard | "He is not the messiah! | | s902150@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au | He's a very naughty boy!" - Life of Brian | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
