It would appear your Installer software is missing. Try this one (http://main.aminet.net/package.php?package=util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha) from Aminet.

WHDLOAD installed fine

going to try and run some games. but with CHIP of 2Mb might not get far (have to wait till tomorrow for installation of my Acc' card). still might be able to run some ECS games maybe

i got CFodder to work with WHDLOAD but i think JUST BARELY. i had 1.6Mb left. it loaded up but when it did, the screen cut out and so did the sound. it ran okay but there were cut outs - is this because of lack of memory?

thankyou

With cannon fodder try turning the Preload option off in your whdload prefs

Post by: adolescent on May 22, 2006, 07:04:11 PM: The flicker is caused by OS accesses. The more the install has to access the HD, the more it will cut out. If you have more memory you can use the PRELOAD option to load the entire game into RAM.
