They both work fine. Okay. I'm trying to run 1.4.1 > I don't know if you've successfully run Maelstrom in the past or not. I have. Maelstrom has worked in all of the other versions I've tried it in. (1.99k, m, n, n5, and o) When I unzipped the new EXECUTOR.EXE from the zipfile in the BleedingEdge directory, and started E/D 1.99o4 up, that was the first time I had trouble with it. > It sounds like you don't have refresh on, which could be the result of > a scewed configuration file.

I have the file "4D61656C.ECF" in my CONFIGUR directory, but I doubt that the problem is related to refresh or pretend sound, because without refresh it would hang at the gameplay screen, and without sound, the program would say that it needs sound, and would quit. When I try to run it, it hangs at the screen with the big Maelstrom logo, and the "Loading..." status bar. After the status bar gets filled, it keeps accessing my hard drive, and sits there. I have to do a Control-Break. Do you have any ideas? Should I send you the EIP values I get after breaking?
