GP2 Running problem

Sorry if this has been covered before but..... Having just upgraded from a Intel Pentium 90 chip/motherboard to a Pentium VX board and 166 Mhz Intel chip,and for the fun of it (NOT) from Win 3.1 to Win 95 all of a sudden GP2 starts playing up in the following ways. 1)On the intro pressing ESC key causes the Monitor power down and Computer to lock up. 2)Sometimes when the intro has finished going through its stuff the above happens on its own. 3)Sometimes when coming out of the prog it just hangs. 4)This can also happen when loading via Win95/dos 5)I have re-loaded the program in several times and even tried somebody elses version to make sure its not the CD. Can someone please clear up these questions. a)Has anybody had this fault? b)Is it Win 95? c)Could it be in my AmiBios settings? d)help any ideas. -- Tony Starbuck

Ughhh!! Running GP2 in Windows (95)! WHY? Do you bath with your rain coat on? Run in (original) DOS v.6.2+ Grand Prix cars are not designed to tow.....cumbersum baggage like W95! Unleash the power of your computer..... I await the flame's from Bill and the I love W95 devotee's. Ok....;-) Jammer (UK)
