GPL just locks solid!! My system is as follows:- P11-350 64meg ram Voodoo 3 3000 (with latest version 3 drvs) Creative SB live Sorry for the long post,but i am Desperate,PLEASE can someone help me.

Dennis, I have spent the last two days rebuilding my PC to discover that my SCGT and GPL lock ups were caused by LiveWare 3.0. Anyway, my final installation put the very basic components of LiveWare back on, drivers and launcher only, no tools , no Parrot, nothing else. With the launcher active GPL and SCGT still fail at specific places (GPL after the 3Dfx splash screen and SCGT when quitting a race). All you should need to do with the launcher prior to running SCGT or GPL (or in fact Nascar 3 I have heard) is to get the launcher pull down visible, right click in an empty area and select exit. The launcher will be active next time you boot or I think you can run it from the START menu. Hope this helps, as I've lost hours of time on mine. What I don't know now is whether it was really worth getting a Live card? Andi.

Hey Dennis... Same thing happens in N3. The only way to avoid lockups is to run at 800X600. The new VooDoo3 drivers don't even help. It is an interesting bug that I'm sure Creative Labs will fix shortly. Rob

I had the same problem on my PC... (PII266, SB live!basic, voodoo3 3000): no more GPL (1.0 1.1 or leaked 1.2 all versions lock and I must reboot the sistem), so I decided to return back to liveware 2.1!!! geps. -- GPL Italia il sito tutto italiano dedicato a Grand Prix Legends su "The Driving Zone" http://www.multiplayer.it/driving

I was able to fix this problem on my machine by un-installing the 3.0 software; the un-install offers an options screen, and I selected everything except the Windows 98 drivers and that fixed it. GPL now starts as before. -tb > I had the same problem on my PC... (PII266, SB live!basic, voodoo3 3000): no

Guys, all you really need to do is select exit from the launcher bar and it will close down, honest, then your games will work. I still have LiveWare 3.0 installed and have just spent two hours on SCGT (winning of course). I hope you have all e-mailed Creative to get this fixed.
