Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately it didnt make a difference. I suppose all this is seriously off-topic ;) However, Id love to get it going, as I dont find any of the cracked QL versions playable for a variety of reasons (most of them just crash). Thing is, the DOS version plays alright, but it doesnt seem to have a valid font; all text characters just show up as the same squiggle (much like viewing a binary file in Minerva) My XP SP2 is more-or-less out of the box - I havent fiddled with it (very much, honestly!) Since then Ive tried messing about with the pif - to no avail. I think something has to be loaded in config.sys - on my machine at least. But all that fright has been a long time ago now. Just wondered if anyone still had this stuff at their finger tips? Per _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
