GP2 Running problem

by Anthony Starbuc » Mon, 16 Dec 1996 04:00:00

Sorry if this has been covered before but.....

Having just upgraded from a Intel Pentium 90 chip/motherboard to a
Pentium VX board and 166 Mhz Intel chip,and for the fun of it (NOT) from
Win 3.1 to Win 95 all of a sudden GP2 starts playing up in the following
ways.

1)On the intro pressing ESC key causes the Monitor power down and
Computer to lock up.
2)Sometimes when the intro has finished going through its stuff  the
above happens on its own.
3)Sometimes when coming out of the prog it just hangs.
4)This can also happen when loading via Win95/dos
5)I have re-loaded the program in several times and even tried somebody
elses version to make sure its not the CD.

Can someone please clear up these questions.

a)Has anybody had this fault?
b)Is it Win 95?
c)Could it be in my AmiBios settings?
d)help any ideas.

Ughhh!!  Running GP2 in Windows (95)!  WHY?  Do you bath with your rain
coat on?  Run in (original) DOS v.6.2+  Grand Prix cars are not designed
to tow.....cumbersum baggage like W95!  Unleash the power of your
computer.....

I await the flame's from Bill and the I love W95 devotee's.

Ok....;-)

Hi!
Do you have a Matrox Mystique in your system? If you have try to start
GP2 like this: gp2 +nointro. This should help.
