(so far, it's the only program that i've seen lock up w2k!)
in N3, the program seems to work fine but has issues with my LWFF.... the
sound with my SB live was also pretty messed up, but i hear drivers are
coming in early march.
for now- until the controller issues are cleared up- i'm double-booting with
w2k for apps and win98se for games...
if anyone can suggest how to get gpl running in w2k, i'd appreciate it,
though...

That's it nothing special and I did not install any other patches that are
floating around.

Funny when I first installed it I could get into GPL but no 3Dfx, then
I installed 3Dfx drivers for win2k and no go, I have since uninstalled
said drivers with no joy.
I get the GPL splash screen then get dumped to the desktop, I have a
feeling this may be a conflict with LAN/internet connections, as I
understand it, GPL is looking for connections/modems in that initial
splash screen.
Maybe I should try connecting to the net and then booting GPL, see if
that makes a difference.
FWIW N3 works fine with 3Dfx drivers for the V3000, but the LWFF
doesn't have any forces although it is all calibrated fine.

Hello Mark (and others),
i had problems getting GPL running in w2k too. FF still doesn't work but that has something to do with the native w2k driver i.c.w. LWFF wheel (as i heard from an insider) which will be solved by logitech (probably).
The freezing of GPL had nothing to do with the 3d-part but with the flag 'disable_modem' in core.ini. By default this is set to '0' which means that before startup GPL tries to detect your modem. disabling this feature (setting this to '1') resolved my problem. What's better: GPL startup time increases a lot too!
I think the searching for a modem underneath w2k was causing the problem since I don't have a modem but an ISDN card. W98 didn't care but i also noticed that in w2k my com ports (modem connection is made trough com port) are reported very strange! Anyhow, this is just a suggestion which solved my problem. Let's hope it solves yours too!
