Should I get a can of Raid, or a new 'puter

Hi Richard,

Lets start with the wavering screen as I log off the Tarot zone.
Then when I go to the help file (or anything by right clicking) nothing works.
I have gotten a number of error messages and then have to quit the program, but it starts right back up as though nothing happened.

I am running a 999 mhz Compaq Presario, with 127 mb ram and Win 98 2nd edition.

Many of the problems that I've experienced went away when I downloaded the new version 6.1.1. The ones above are the ones that continue.

I'm running a constantly updated Mcafee virus checker, along with spybot.

I hope that this helps.

Thanks,

Marvin

Hi Marvin,

I am not sure about the wavering screen, but it sounds like it might have more to do with the computer being short on memory. Has anyone else experienced this?

The other problems you describe definitely sound more like bugs, so you have come to the right place...

The best thing would be to take them one at a time. It might turn out that they are all related, so fixing one will fix them all.

I understand that the sequence is this: you hide the Tarot Zone and the deck re-appears. You bring up the main menu with a right click, and then you select, say, to show the Help file. What happens next? In this case is it simply that the Help file does not appear, or is there an error message? In the case of an error message it is very important that you tell me exactly what the message is so I can get to work on fixing it.

The same goes for the other menu items that give errors. At the moment there are no identified bugs in the last release of the program (I wish that meant there were no bugs, but sadly it doesn't work that way!), so let me know what the messages are and I will see what I can do.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I right click, and it won't allow me to select help.
Also, the flickering while I'm in the tarot zone involves sending me to another page in the tarot zone (not the one clicked on, mind you....)

Thanks,

Marvin
