I have to re-install it every time.....
Can anyone help here???

Some system info if thats req.:
P200 - 64mb ram
ATI 3D expression + Devatech Iris 3d manina Voodoo 1
SB 16 PRO(I think)
Primary HD: 2.1gb
Sec. HD 3.4 gb - Split into 3 "drives" GPL is installed on E:

Could anyone give some pointers to what might be wrong???

I noticed that the program gets installed twice.  Whatever temp directory
you initially unzipped the sim into will also have the program dir in it,
with a clickable gpl.exe file.  Don't run this one!  I had to reboot because
I couldn't get out of the joystick setup screen.  When you click setup from
the temp dir it installed to, it'll try to install it to
C:\sierra\program\gpl (or something like that).  Run the sim from this
directory, not the first one!!!  I hope this makes sense to everyone.
