GP3 install problems

by p_lat.. » Tue, 01 Aug 2000 04:00:00

Hi All,

Has anyone else had problems installing and running GP3?  I have PIII
machine with CD-ROM (IDE) and CD-RW (SCSI) drives installed.  The CD-
ROM won't even read the CD and the CD-RW will read the CD and install
the game but the game complains of a missing or wrong CD on launch.

I've never come across this problem with any other pieces of software.
I exchanged the media just in case it was a problem with the individual
CD but this didn't make a difference.

Any suggestions?

Cheers ..... Pete

You can try swapping the driver letters for the CD and the CD-RW in Windows
and then install from the CD-RW again.
