will not load games, please help

I downloaded the latest build of ccs64 and I'm running windows xp on a 2gig cpu machine. I have the game files and I can navigate through the menus to select the disk and either load it manually (load"*",8,1) or try to autoload (fast) load it. I usually get the "maximum speed" flag that pops up and just stays there. I'll wait and wait and the game never starts. I just get the blue Basic screen with the "1561 maximum speed". The other thing that happens depending on how I load the game is that it'll search for the game, find it, load it and say that the game has been loaded. I then get a flashing cursor again and nothing happens. I tried typing run, load"*"..., etc and nothing happens. I searched and searched the forums and other sites online and havent found anything to help me out.

Thanks.

Various things to try here:

1. Try disabling the Maximum 1541 Speed option;

2. Try loading with Load (Normal) instead of Load (Fast) option, or the usual older method of LOAD"*",8,1 <Enter> and then RUN <Enter> when the READY prompt appears within BASIC.

3. Try different versions of the 1541/Kernel ROM files.

Apart from that, try a different version of the game,since it may be corrupted.

Thanks for the help. I figured it out last night through an unrelated thread/topic that I saw somewhere else. I had different versions of the game and had tried all the various loading methods, fast and normal. Disabling the maximum speed for the drive was the solution. Played Wasteland til 5am.
