Speed Problem with GPL and Notebook

Hi guys, maybe somebody from you can give me a hint for my problem. By the way is there any FAQ for GPL related questions which is up to date (like problems with XP) ? After problems with crashing back to the desktop, installing GPL on a FAT32-partition worked. I had GPL running on my desktop even on a NFTS-partition. What is the reason why it did�nt work this time ? But the main problem is that GPL runs too fast on my Targa Visionary XP-Notebook with AMD Mobile XP 2,2GHz+ and ATI RADEON 9000 Mobile. I allready tested the CPU-Fix from Papy but after that the game is in slow motion. Is there any possibilty to adjust this patch ? Thanks for your answers in advance. Best regards, Marcus Bletz

there is a patch called cpufix(or cpupatch something similar) at papy that addresses this. dave henrie

Probably not the most helpful response Dave ;-) There's no way to 'calibrate' the CPU patch, and there should be no need. I'm guessing that maybe the patch didn't get applied for some reason. Could be files set to read-only maybe. You need to apply the 1.2 patch for the CPU patch to work. As far as NTFS goes, just allow indexing on the gpl folder & it'll run fine. Apart from sound issues with some cards, that's the only real issue with running gpl on XP (or win2k). Bit of a short FAQ ;-) Malc.
