Thanx to both of you,
I seem to have solved the problem by putting each .gi into a different folder, it's worked with the last 3 so fingers crossed.
I now have a new prob lol, that's the fact that it's taking upto 7 hrs to encode (using TMPGEng) a 700meg divx movie for dvd burning.
I'm using a 1.33 athlon with 512meg of DDR266 ram and a mate told me encoding is all processor power, so if i upgrade my processor i could half the time.
Right i thought, so i went to the asus website (my motherboard is an A7M266) where i saw a bios update which will allow me to go to a XP2100 athlon chip. Nice one i though, checked out the price and at about 100 quid seemed a cheap way of speeding up my pc.
That's where the probs started :-(
1) I updated the bios from V1.004 to V1.007 (V1.007 has XP2100 support)
2) Started windows at which point it got to the window with a black background and white text all in boxes telling u what irq's etc (Technical term i know ;-))
3)The machine then went to a blue screen telling me i had a critical error which it defined as DRIVER_IRQL_NOT LESS OR EQUAL and froze.
4) I flashed the bios back to V1.004 and everything was ok.
5) I thought i'm not letting this little f@cker beat me, so i put the bios back to V1.007, installed a spare hdd and then went for a full install with Window XP Pro.
6) It started ok, went throught the bios stuff and got to the windows setup screen were it installs all those drivers, but before i could get to choose a partition to install the aforementioned blue screen appeared :-(
7) That was me snookered.
I know it's not the forum for this but you two seem to have it sussed and i wondered if you had any ideas.
Well i'm off to write an email to asus (don't expect much) to see if they know.
Any ideas i'm open to try,
Later chaps,
Jay.
