Well, I've been running GPL for a couple days now without any problem,
mainly at Monza. Starting runnin the Spa tonight, and it keeps kicking me
out to the options menu . It seems to be at random, sometimes just every few
seconds. Has anyone else had this problem? I haven't tested it at other
tracks yet, did not start happening to me until I started running the Spa.

Just a guess, but I think Spa requires a lot more memory than Monza.
Try the Ring and see if the same thing happens. If yes, it might be a
problem with your system's memory (flakey or just too little of it.)

I may have solved my own problem. I looked in the readme, and saw a note
somewhere about having "poll with interrupts" enabled in the windows
joystick driver. I checked mine, and it was unchecked, so I enabled it, and
have been able to run the spa all morning without a glitch. Either that was
it, or my system was just flaky last night.

Hi,
I can't seem to get a few of the tracks to work in GPL, notably The ring
and Rouen, with the ring the GPL always says that it could not find the
track , and with Rouen, it can't find the replay system. Anyone else having
this problem, and if so, how do you fix it. Thanks.
Cya,
Stuart Becktell

Hmmm. Rouen, Nurburgring and Spa are the three largest tracks in the game,
and these errors ("Could not load the track.", and "Could not initialize
the replay system.") are most likely triggered by a lack of memory. Is
your C: drive low on disk space? Or, have you created a permanent swap
file that is not very large? Either of these could cause this problem.
