Great Demo, but.........

[Bob C.]

I have been playing with the recently downloaded Koolmoves Demo, spectacular, I would like to buy it!

I have do have a problem though and I’m not sure if it is with my system. Maybe someone here can help. My system is an AMD Athlon 750 with 128 Ram running Win98. I have an older Matrox video card with 4 MB on the card. It is a Matrox Millennium II with a Rainbow Runner Studio daughter card for Video I/O. I have the “latest” drivers.

OK the problem: When I first ran Koolmoves it hung the system dead after a few sec. no Ctrl +Atl +Del would work, had to press restart to reboot. The second time it ran for maybe 3 min then crash again, the 3rd time ..... etc. etc. I’m now up to about 30-40 min between crashes!

Oh and often I will see lines or a series of dots across my screen when it hangs and I had the same thing happen with newly purchased copy of XaraX ( very very nice software) but only crashed about 3 times then they offered an update and that is fine now. It behaved the same way too - crashed quickly at first then longer and longer between crashes!?

I’m not sure they are related, any help?

Do you have a lot of applications running while running KoolMoves? With the resource monitor running, are you low on resources before or after KoolMoves is running?

Thanks for taking time to reply Bob.

It seems the problem I was having was with my 4 year old video card - replacing it with an AGP card with 4 times the video memory onboard shows Koolmoves to be running rock solid now!

Very nice! I will be buying it!
