Has anyone got GPL running under Windows 2000?

If so...  where can I get GPL?  I've had no luck checking local computer stores.

Thanks!

running being the keyword, i'm hardly playing it

calibrate at all.

GPL works under W2k just as well as it does under WinME, albeit a tad
slower. No probs with nothing here as long as I use an admin rights account.
If I try and use limited rights users, I have smaller issues with FF
settings (with my LWFF, don't know how it is with other wheels).

Running win2k sp2 here.

Getting GPL working was no problem, but your monitor will run at 60Hz in 3d
apps by default. I have an nVidia card & use Rivatuner
http://www.voodoofiles.com/2619 to set the refresh rate. This problem isn't
specific to GPL, it applies to any 3D (DirectX, OpenGL) game. There are
plenty of similar tools to fix the refresh rate problem.

I use two controllers, one on the gameport & one USB. Apparently serial
Logitech controllers aren't supported in win2k but I've never tried it
myself.

To buy GPL, try a Sold-Out Software:

Glad to hear it can run under W2K.

Thanks for the link to Sold-Out... I just ordered it for 4.99 pounds
(where's that symbol on my keyboard?!?!?)

I'm looking forward to finally playing this old game that everyone is raving
about :-)

It will be nice to play a real driving game after being so dissapointed with
my $59CDN purchase of NFS:HP2
What a rip-off that game was.

Hold down ALT and type 1,5,6 on the number pad.
