Hi !

I run GPL and love it.

But the graphics are not at the top on my PC: my STB TNT 16 Mb only gives 5 to 7 FPS.

Then I tried a Voodoo 2/ 12 Mb, and had to reinstall GPL accordingly.

There is the trick: gPL refuses to be installed: the setup process failes when it comes to load the tracks files, namely mosport and nurburg.

Tried several times: same thing.

I am afraid my CD is scratched ( I let some friends of mine use it without control...).

If so, is there any way to solve my problem ( apart to buy GPL a second time ! ) ?

Thanks for help.

Rough one. You could try cleaning your CD use distilled water and a very clean cotton cloth. If you have a spare CD-ROM drive you could try
installing on that (I've found a big difference with how good different CR_ROM drives are when it comes to reading damaged disks). Otherwise
you're going to have to buy another copy of the game.
Cheers,
Paul

Check with Sierra, I believe they do have a "media" replacement offer.
