making it run with Dreamcard Player

[David Coker]

Hello Sieg,
Here's a shot in the dark... You might want to make sure that the DC
Player is not in secure mode (the default status) and try running you
stack again. I *think* that the default security mode will not allow
writing to the drive.

You can access the security properties in the player by clicking on
the Revolution Icon out beside the file folder icon.

Another option is to try Ken's "StackRunner" application in place of
the DC Player:

HTH,
