how should i be converting the tracks????

Im having difficulty (still) converting the 4 tracks from N2 to GPL. I get a 'Failed to open c:\..\bwpic.pbf' about 70% of the way through the conversion process every time on my computer. I unzipped the n2>gpl program and all assoc. files into c:\unzipped\n2togpl The directories are set as follows : N2 = d:\nascar2 (which is my hd) gpl = c:\sierra\gpl (which is my installed gpl directory) All 4 tracks show in the program window. Could the fact that i do not have an install of N2 and am accessing it through the cdrom be a problem? Im working with an AMD K6 200mhz, 32meg ram, 400meg hd(tiny) with only 30megs free space (enough to run gpl, but is it enough to convert the files?) can anybody explain this? nobody else seems to have this problem, but ive never been able to get mr noonans converters to work, my guess would be that they dont like the AMD K6s (the old ones, without 3dnow). The converters seem to work fine for everybody else, and ive seen some of his work on a friends computer, it is impressive, and i feel im missing out. when i asked for somebody to send me a converted track i was pretty much branded a pirate (cheers!). pez just posted a 1.30.09 at monza in the lotus with my joystick (im quite happy with that... :) )

error in the above post,... d:\nascar2 is my cdrom drive... pez

Make sure you have a full install of GPL. Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrashes.cjb.net

I'm thinking it's running out of free space...with 30 MB free, your swapfile probably swells occasionally (especially during stuff like converting) and then it just plain runs out of room.
