M Maine,
In XP, right-click the gpl.exe file, select Properties and go to the
Compatibility tab. Then select -Run this program in compatibility mode
for:- and choose an operating system - for my PC it runs best in Win2k
mode ... which is slightly odd considering the original post I made! >O(
This should at least let you play the game, of course you may then find
other problems with the sound, etc - but it's a start, hope it works for
you! :O)
Cheers.
