Anybody else having trouble with the UK patch?  I have downloaded the UK version twice now and it will not self-extract.  WinZip reports a possible corrupt header.

If nobody else has this problem, check your pc for virusses.
I once had the CIH virus, it infected downloaded files immediately and
I couldn't extract them.
www.avp.com has a superb virus killer.

Seems to work for me, the files self-extract fine, although it is not installed yet as I'm at work!

Thanks for the quick responses.  Thing is, I have now downloaded it three times, still no go, and yet when I download the US version it unpacks no problem.

Bit of a mystery, but at least I have the hacked 1.2 that was released in error.  Are there any noticeable differences with the latest version?

Check your "Windows\Temporary Internet Files" folder and delete it from
there, then reboot. Windoze may have cached the corrupted file, and until
you get rid of it may use that rather than re-downloading. Or just do a
find-file for the filename and delete all instances, then re-download it. It
might work!

Mike.

Thanks all, it was Chernobyl virus (on my PC, not at Papy) - all fixed now.

Downloaded and installed it last night.  As there is no installer as
such in the zip file I just extracted it out to my gpl folder and
everythings seems fine.  Even tried online racing for the first time
last night.  What a blast!!
