Ok I burned Gp3 to a CD-R, when I formatted my HD then copied GP3 back onto
the newly installed Win98, I can run Gp3, but it gives me a "Read Only"
error whenever it starts up the game, it says it can't save game state,
because of a read only error, I can save a game, but any game settings
themselves won't save, I have to fix the graphics the controls and so on
everytime I start Gp3, any ideas what this "Read Only" error is? And yes I
plan to buy Gp3 when it comes out, I just couldn't wait, I pre-ordered my
from a store in the UK for about 70 pounds.

If I were you, i'd wait for the original. Apparently it isn't the most
difficult sim around and you might complete it before your ordered copy
turns up !
Anticipation is half the fun !

run

attrib /s *.* -r

on the directory..

C:\GP3>attrib /s *.* -r

Anytime you copy a file from cd to hd it keeps the read only flag..

Or fire up WIndows Explorer and right click each directory and under
properties remove the READ ONLY checkmark.
