I`ve probably completely lost the plot but I have only played gpl for
months. I tried to load another d3d game (I have a voodoo 1) and it bombed
out when you got to the grid and the same with all my other d3d games.
although gp2 ran fine. Reinstalled direct x6 and my voodoo drivers with no
change. Now gpl still runs fine but when I get in the car and select a gear
even though it selects I have no drive and I just sit there revving, the
game continues to run. All suggestions gratefully received.

Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't sound like anything to do with
graphics cards etc. Sounds like your clutch is in...

Good point - try mapping the clutch to a different key or button in case
you've got a case of sticky key!  Andrew.
