GPL Demo works fine under Windows 98!!!!!

For all you guys/girls who has problems with running the GPL demo under Windows 98!!
This is how it WILL work under Windows 98,...............for me it did!!!

You should first uninstall it completely from your system.
Then you should unzip the gpldemo.exe with winzip to x:\gpl  (X stand for your HD!!)
After that replace wininet.dll from x:\gpl to x:\gpl\program
The next thing to do is to create a x:\gpl\program\controls dir
Then make x:\gpl\program  otions.ini writeable

Now the next thin to do is to start te game  from x:\gpl\program\gpl.exe
and configure you joystick or wheel,and adjust the other options to your personal wishes
after that exit the game.......... don't go driving yet!!!

After that edit x:\gpl\program\options.ini go to
line 35 and change it into lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll  (You will get No 3DFX textures if you don't!!)

Copy the options.ini to x:\gpl\program\controls and make options.ini read only again
Now you can start the game,...and everything works fine under Windows 98!!

Just remember to create the x:\gpl\program\replay folder for replays.

Why won't this work for me. I had this trouble with the Win 98 Beta, did
this fix and it worked perfectly. This week I upgraded to Win 98 full
version and GPL demo won't work at all.

I'm also running Dx6. I've tried several times and it just dumps back to
windows every time. I still get the old dial up connection dialogue box
aswell.
