Go up one level in this thread


I have set up Prodeo with your new files.  The first thing I have noticed is
Shredder asks for a hash size to be set.  I have enough memory for 400Mb. This
also shows up after setting.  After this all PD started to play ok, so I will
leave it playing Hiarcs 9: 2 x 3000AMD. 30 mins oer game...  This is full
auto232!  Tell me what specific info you will be looking for.  Please don't get
too complicated I am not a programmer?
