Could it still me an issue with DX8 even if another game works fine?  I have
the same type of problem on a system at work, but we've played Galactic
Battlegrounds on that machine just fine...  Mine's win2k with NTFS though.

I've even tried as administrator. I think I'll head over to gamecopyworld
and see if a no CD patch will work, it may be that it thinks i'm using a
copied CD ??

Hi,

Don't know whether it will help but i had the same problem on my WIN98
machine and it turned out to be a memory problem.

Although other programs worked, gpl wouldn't, "borrowed" some memory
from a friend and all worked ok.

Got some new memory and everythings ok now.

When asked during the install, select software. Now check if you can
run GPL. Ugly, isn't it? To solve that, get the D3D patch from

http://www.papy.com/

Make sure you read the readme3d.txt to insert the right info in your
CORE.INI for your GeForce 2.
