I would suggest checking for a ramdrive in your config.sys and, if found,
deleting it.  Then remove the DVPPATH parameter (in TR Log it is "DVP PATH
=" and it is in your logcfg.dat file, but I don't know where it is found in
CT -- maybe in the config.sys also...) and run it that way.  The dvp files
will be stored and played back from the current DOS directory.

There is zero need for a ramdrive with modern hard drives, but Bob's right,
if these parameters are still in the setup, or rather if one is and the
other isn't, then nothing will be recorded or played back.

You should also check for an IRQ conflict, if you haven't already done so.
