WinFellow doesn't work

[Ian]

On my new computer:

Athlon XP 1800+
512 mb ram
Geforce 2 64mb
A sound card (Avance)
oh yeah, and Windows XP

Any idea why?? (I don't think it's to do with XP as it works on my other computer which has XP on it)

Time to elaborate I feel

After select my config options and clicking on start emulation, I just get a blank screen, F11 doesn't take me back to the GUI, I have to "End Task" to get out of it

Any help would be appriciated

ps. No error message is shown either

[Ian]

Forget it, it's working now

Fired up today using exactly the same config as last night, only now it works (And no I wasn't drunk last night)

Drugs ??

[Ian]

WTF?!?

No it isn't working again, nothing has changed since earlier, but now it doesn't work

Time to reboot I fell and try again

Maybe this will help, this is from my fellow log file, I've copied the bit from just before I think it starts to go wrong.

Seems like I'm stuck using WinUAE only for now

[RokChild]

I have more or less the same set up as you, and Win Fellow works fine, except the well known main sprite being invisible, the only difference is that I am using a SB Live 1024 sound card... maybe that is the problem..???
