I hope someone can help me with this same lock up issue. I have just switched
over my Paris system to a new PC. It is an AMD 3800 dual core processor on
an ASUS MB. I have only Paris loaded on it so far. I have loaded the XP drivers
and effects subsystem. I still run Paris 2.2. I had no problems with my previous
PC runing on XP other than it was slow. Now I get the same symptoms as Wayne
did on this new system. Paris just locks up. I have tried following all of
the tweaks and still no luck. Does anyone else have an other ideas?
Thanks
