You ARE running it on a gfx system I take it??? v2 is cybergraphix or p96 only, not AGA.

Possibly - there was two downloads for v2. update and standalone - the standalone doesnt have an installer script - u drag the drawr where you want it. (ive just unarchived it to ram to find this out as I havnt run it yet...will do that now....

Ok. Ive run it and you need to try a different resolution!

I first tried it on 800x600x16bit and it too came up with couldnt open screen. Tried it on a smaller size and it opened fine! :)

Also, the menu Quit item doesnt seem to work! You have to click the close gadet on the tool box to quit the program! hehehe. ~~~odd!~~~

TTFN
Sam.
