	I just recently bought a cd-rom (563b doublespin by matsushita) and got
Gabe with it.  I played Gabe for a while and was very impressed with the 
plot and the gameplay wasn't bad either (a little slow, but that is more my 
computers fault than anything [386sx-25]).  I was playing on the tiny install
and having no problem, but then I freed up some disk space and did the full
install to try to cut down on the choppiness of the sound.  The problem I have
developed it that when I try to restore a game (doesn't matter where I am or
what sound levels I have working) I always get a fatal error message and kicked
out of the game.  I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems and
if so, has anyone thought of a solution or knows whether this supposed patch 
will fix it.  (BTW, I did discover that the saved games from the tiny install
won't work when I upgraded to the full install so I deleted them and started 
over, so that isn't the problem.  I have now started this game over three times
trying to "fix" certain things and now I am looking at the game from a 
different angle.  Also my room-mate (who kept taking the disk w/o asking) seems
to be having very few problems on his machine (486sx-25 mitsoumi single spin 
drive) so I don't think that it is the disk itself.) 

	If anyone out there can think of a solution or knows whether or not
the patch will work to fix my problem, please alert me with utmost haste as I
want to be able to return it if I have to.

	Thanks in advance for any help.  And sorry about the length, I didn't 
know I was going to be so long winded.


	2good.
PS please reply via e-mail to save bandwidth and time (as I rarely check this 
group, or news at all for that matter).
		THANKS AGAIN!!
