Hmm. You must have installed PPCLibe emulator?

Ah! I thought so :)
I tried PPCLib emulator and it works perfectly! Finally NO reboot between=
WOS
& PPC...
But the only ONE thing is missing - emulation for CandyFactoryPro PPC (I =
use
every day for work) :(((( So, until Candy2 or something 'fixed' is releas=
ed, I
can't go completelly to WOS :(
The same means for FantasticDreams... It also don't work under the WOS em=
u.
p.s. I also heard from Audiolabs (authors of excellent but very very expe=
nsive
professional tool for music - ProStationAudio) that their program does NO=
T
work too :(((( under the WOS... Well - it works, but 80% slower
(ProStationAudio uses PPC for realtime DSP)...
Looks I'll never switch to WOS :(
