I don't ever recall having this problem.....but then its been a few ions
since installing GPL from the fresh, original CD.

Problem:  During the installation process, I get an error message when GPL
is attempting to install "ActiveMovie" as follows:

"The version of ActiveMovie you have is newer than the version attempting to
be installed.  GPL can not update a newer version of ActiveMovie.  Please
uninstall ActiveMovie from your system and rerun GPL setup."   Or, something
close to that.  (this is not a joke)  Then, the installation of GPL stops.
When I go into GPL, everything appears normal until attempting to enter a
race track....where the following error message is displayed:  "Can not
initialize Replay system."

What the hell is ActiveMovie anyway.....there's nothing in the Windows
Add/Remove list that says, "ActiveMovie?"  What's the fix for this?

PS:  Ops system is Windows98SE, with DX8.0

......lol.......

You don't even need to do a proper install.  Just copy the gpl folder off
the CD and create a shortcut to gpl.exe.

I think you *do* need to do a proper install...at least, if you haven't
installed the game on the same drive before.  The install writes to the
Registry, and if memory serves, the game won't even start, much less run, if
you haven't installed GPL at least once before.  (I'm not sure if the
Uninstall erases the Registry entries.  The usual case is when an old GPL
install gets screwed up, in which case you can just delete it and copy the
files from the CD.  Don't forget to reset the attributes, tho!)
