GP3-2000 problem

by Ramon Verlinde » Thu, 15 Nov 2001 18:14:16

I am having troubles getting GP3-2000 to work on my system. The Game menu's
work fine, but as soon as I get to the driving-part (I mean after the
loading screen) the game (and windows 98) crashes, and I get an 'overflow
error'. Possibly there also seems to be a problem with 'winmm.dll'. When I
try the 'old' GP3 it works fine.
This is my system:

P-III 1GHz
128 MB
32 MB DDR Geforce 256 Pro
Windows 98
on-board Sound-Max soundcard

A strange thing is that the calibration of my graphics card is without any
problems!
Any help would realy be welcome.

Sounds like a memory management issue. What size is your swap file set
to, or is it "windows controlled"? Is your system oc'ed at all?

You may want to try running a proggy called "memturbo" and freeing up
some RAM before playing the game.

Rafe, you're the man! It WAS a memory problem. Thank you very much.
The bastards at the infogrames hotline told me I had to download the latest
drivers for my Geforce.
One question to r.a.s. did the trick. I love the internet community.

By the way; GP3-2000 is great!

Thankx

Ramon
