The only thing I changed in the install was to specify another drive partition
other than the default which was F:\Gam\Program Files\Ubi Soft etc.  I did the
complete install.

I did download the EGDB generator but have not installed it.  I did not edit the
EGDB path setting... just changed the ttable size for mentor from 21 to 128MB.

I have not tried another install, but unless you can see anything else I could
do, I will try that.

Thanks,

Steve
