I've just downloaded the GPL demo, and it installed sucessfully, but as soon as I fire it up, once it starts to load and just as the start screen opens up, my computer (for some reason...) opens Internet Explorer 4.0. Then the demo shuts itself down.... ANYONE having a problem similar to this???? Any remedies? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Brock Bolton Carleton University "Abstract art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered," Al Capp "Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand," Homer Simpson, 1994 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the folder where GPL is installed (look for gpl.exe). Use Notepad to create a file named gpl.ini in the same folder as gpl.exe. In this file, place the following two lines [profile] disable_network = 1 Edit the shortcut you use to start GPL (right click on Start, select Open, double click on the folders until you see the shortcut for the Grand Prix Legends demo; right click on it, and select Properties, then click on the Shortcut tab). At the end of the Target: line, add a space, then -kpgpl.ini (as one word, no spaces), and click OK. Randy

Try www.papy.com or http://gp.gamestats.com for the Watkins Glen demo, or if you're in the UK, you may get a better transfer rate downloading the Monza demo from www.sierra-online.co.uk . Which ever one you download, I have the OTHER track (as only one is included in each demo) available for download on my site : http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl . If you are new to GPL, make sure you read my GPL FAQ's. If you have Windows 98, it is IMPERATIVE that you read the instructions on my page to install the demos, as they WILL NOT work as is under Windows 98. Follow the instructions exactly, and you'll be playing GPL in no time! Good luck, doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl For the GPL track files, FAQs (I've got them!), installation help, release date updates, PC GAMER preview pics, and more!
