Hey there, I'm running a P3 600EB, 256M SDRAM, mainboard with VIA Apollo Pro chipset, and Win98SE. (Yes, I know I should upgrade ). I have updated the Hyperion drivers and BIOS of my mobo as per Inge's instruction but am still having a problem. When I try and quit MT2 after a session that contains any VST or VSTi it will not close. Amongst all of the "Violation de l'address..." errors I get "MT2 has performed an illegal operation..." error messages that will not go away. I have to shut down the PC before the taskmanager will close the error box. I know I ought to use an OS with a more responsive taskmanager (i.e. W2k or XP) but I am not made of money. The only way I can avoid this error is to delete any VSTs from the session before I close the program. Am I doing anything wrong or is my system just not up to it?

Hello Pete, Don't overstress: MadTracker should fit your system, your system should not fit MadTracker. The current RC5 can give heaps of problems on certain systems: so far, especially non-NT4 versions of Windows (Windows ME, 98(se) and 95) seem to suffer from it. Yannick is working on a update for RC5 that might solve your problem. Keep an eye on this space! Inge

Hehehe, that's what I'm using, 98SE and I'm getting these French error popups all the time. I don't know French, so it's like it's swearing at me and I don't know what it's saying.

Thanks Inge, and of course Yannick. Despite the problems I've been having, I'm really blown away by the new version of MT2 - VST and VSTi support is a fantastic feature. Congratulations on a marvellous product, and I look forward to the fix.
