Thanks for the suggestions.  I figured out what I did wrong.  I deleted all
the drivers for my Asus Nvidia Motherboard by mistake!  Stupid.  I know
better... Anyway I now have the latest Nvidia driver for my video card.  I
went next door at work and borrowd the neighbors Cable connection to
download 20+ megabites in about 10 seconds!  Unbelievable.  Took me several
2 hours at home with dial-up. When I get home from work I'll give it another
try.  I WILL get it working.  Thanks again.

OK, I finally got it up and running. Sheesh, what a joke.  I wasted all this
time making this work so I can putt around in a MINI COOPER????  I should
have read the instructions BEFORE I spent 3 days screwing around.  Not even
GPL made you start with F2/F3 cars.  I'm pretty dissapointed, to say the
least.  Well, at least I didn't spend $500+ on an upgrade :-)

Ahhh but the original Mini Cooper was so much fun to drive in RL. I remember
roaring around, throwing the car round corners and on one occasion, driving
across three lanes and onto the shoulder to get around an 18 wheeler that
decided to pull onto the highway without looking.

Having put the effort in it shouldn't take long to find the means of
bypassing the career mode. GT Legends is very good and the AI are excellent.

Also the initial cars are good fun, you may be surprised.

Cheers

Yes, you're right.  I never had so much fun going slow!  There is a very
realistic feeling I noticed.  However, I have a framerate problem.  When GPL
came out, I upgraded.  When N4 came out, I upgraded.  But... I had more
money then.  We'll see...

Tony,

there is way to unlock everything (by adding a file, I have the file, and
unsure if game is checking the contents of this file or just that file
exists.. some say just create new file of this name in GTL root) anyrate, I
had a buddy that sent me this file, it worked, but I dont  have it here at
work, nor recall the name (use google and search this group, or look around
RaceSimCentral.com 's GTLegents Forums...  Or if you end up posting I could
email it to you, if I rememebr to check this group fast enough, while I am
at home, sbc doestn keep post very long.)
:).

But you can race and win mustang pretty quickly, and the GT-350 mustang can
be bought pretty quickly..  all is not bad, it was actually great fun, and I
wouldnt have done it (raced the mini's if I had NOT have had to...)

A few years ago it seemed I had nothing but time for Sim racing.  I know for
sure I spent over 4 hours per day practicing and racing GPL.  But life is so
different now.  I have maybe a few minutes after coming home from work to
race a little bit and un-wind.  I've always loved the GT 40.  I once met Dan
Gurney and and saw the GT 40 he owns.  I surely would enjoy taking one for a
drive.  But ya, racing the Mini is fun too.  I just wish I had more time...

Open up Notepad and choose to save the file in your GTL folder (the file
will be blank) and give it a filename of "TG2001.DYN" and set file type to
all files.
The filename must be in uppercase and include the " "s otherwise the default
windows settings will append .txt to the file name.
Fire up GTL, create a new driver profile and all cars and all tracks.

These steps worked for me - I deleted my other driver profile after I
created the new one (must create a new one).

Actually, I'm having so much fun with this sim I no longer need to have full
access to all the cars.  It's more fun doing it the way the game intends :-)
