Has anyone found a solid work around to get the GPL demo to work in win98?
If so, please, PLEASE post the info?

Thanks

I think this is what I did.

1. Unpack the gpldemo.exe to c:\gpl (or whatever directory
   you wish to put it in.) using winzip. (Dont run the file)

2. Copy wininet.dll from c:\gpl to c:\gpl\program

3. Run the program and calibrate your wheel, pick your graphic
   options, and so forth but do not enter the track screen.
   Exit the game before putting the car on the track.

4. Copy c:\gpl\controls\options.ini to c:\gpl\options.ini

5. Make c:\gpl\options.ini read only.

6. Make c:\gpl\controls\options.ini read only.

It may be necessary to edit a line in both \options.ini files under [graphic
options] to reflect your graphics card. Mine says:
lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll             ; Last rasterizer DLL used
