That first time it works as normal- pause brings up the CPW menu and I can select the various items. But when I EXIT from the CPW menu for some reason CPW shuts down completely.
I've looked at the verbose log but I can't see anything obvious, not seeing any error reports.
Thoughts?

*blush* yeah a small bug that was introduced recently. Try and download again ;)

That took care of it, thanks.
There is a HiToText error on certain games. Try loading X-men (4 player) or The Simpsons using all the default settings and I think you'll see what I mean.
Windows brings up a dialogue box saying that HiToText has to close and after you turn off that box CPW menu comes up and works as normal.
So something is causing HiToText to close.

Can you please post a screenshot or paste the message here please? Also please post the CPWizard.log if there is an error message there.

Here ya go
This is trying to bring up cpw while playing the game x-men. I also found this happens when I tried Simpsons, but those are the only more than 2-player games I tried.
If I try cpw while playing a 2-player only game like 1942 it works fine, no errors. I haven't tried more 2-player games to see if they also work, but perhaps it has something to do with 3-4 player games?

Could you please zip up those two .hi files, I'm guessing xmen.hi, and simpsons.hi, and upload them? I think this is a problem with HiToText unable to read something correctly.
