Now the next thin to do is to start te game from x:\gpl\program\gpl.exe
and configure you joystick or wheel,and adjust the other options to your
personal wishes
after that exit the game.......... don't go driving yet!!!
After that edit x:\gpl\program\options.ini go to
line 35 and change it into lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll (You will
get No
3DFX textures if you don't!!)
Copy the options.ini to x:\gpl\program\controls and make options.ini
read only
again
Now you can start the game,...and everything works fine under Windows
98!!

Surely you know that full stops were originally designed for version
numbers anyway Bruce.
btw Does/Will the finished GPL contain anything other than 3DFX /
rendition support. Plays great but the graphics engine is on par with
GP2 from where i'm sitting.

Personally I like Windows 98 a lot more than 95. The GUI is better and it
feels much nicer to use day in, day out. The thing is far from being "shitless
of a command line" I've used PC's since MsDos 3 and work with UNIX so I
wouldn't say I'm unfamilar with command prompts :)
At the end of the day, Win98 is a better version of Windows 95 and other than
the price there is little reason why it's not a good thing. That said, if
you're happy with Win 95 in any of it's flavours then why bother upgrading?
It's horses for courses and to be honest, anyone who starts abusing people for
use or otherwise of Win98 needs to grow up.

The problem is with Win98 (which, incidentally, I am not about to bash). I tried
all the tricks on the web, reinstalled DirectX 6, made sure all my other drivers
were up to date, screwed around with all the file names everyone told me to***
around with. I was prepared to believe the problem lay with my otherwise more
than adequate Turtle Beach PCI sound card...until I installed the demo on the same
machine under Win95 (I knew there was some reason I'd retained it in a partition
for an optional boot)...and...voila...the GPL demo works beautifully.
Win98 doesn't suck, but the demo isn't prepared for it and the easiest way to get
around that (until the commercial release) is to simply repartition your
harddrive, reinstall Win95, boot up under Win95, and reinstall the game.
