My brother has had some problems with his computer. After using First Aid to
fix most of the problems, one remains.
When clicking on GPL (also Renegade and Command and Conquer) the screen goes
black and freezes his computer. On GPL it never makes it to the intro screen.
Any ideas? I have uninstalled, re-installed, un-installed again (this time
including a file sweep) re-re-installed, and still the problem exists.
We occasionally get a dll error on a file called Ddeml.dll
Help would be appreciated! The GPL monkey on his back is loud, big and mean!
I mean he is JONES'N!
Thanks,
Michael Loos
...and yes, I did apply all the patches, 1.2 and d3d.
He has 600 p3 / geforce gts 2 64 meg card, sound blaster live, 256 megs ram...
Thanks again,

From the D3D readme...

If GPL fails to restart correctly, then there's something wrong. Switch back
to the software rasterizer by editing the GPL\app.ini file and changing the
line:
lastRasterizerDLL = rastd3d7.dll
to
lastRasterizerDLL = softdll.dll
Then, save the changes to app.ini.

If it runs in software mode then it's something to do with drivers for the
GeForce. You could try one of the older versions (21.xx) or attempt to
configure GPL to use OpenGL.
