Deluxe Photolab is not copy protected. I use it all the time from a hard
disk (2000, A2090, Miniscribe 40Mb) without problems. There is one annoying
habit in the Paint program that it will refuse to fire up if it can't get
enough memory for the mode picture selected (it usually happens to me when
multitasking and trying to open an interlaced HAM picture). This might be
causing some other spurious error with the GVP card (sheer speculation on my
part).

I have noticed that memory interactions between programs can cause lockups
or can destroy a program previously loaded (Mymenu seems to get clobbered
easily, for example). In other words, check what is running besides Photolab
and try to isolate it that way, it may have exactly nothing to do with the
GVP hardware.
