- Okay. I'm trying to run 1.4.1

- 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.

- 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?
