Is it possible to run GPL under Windows XP? When I installed it under XP, it turned to my desktop again, as soon as I started the game. [email hidden]

I can use opengl now. (Geforce3). Steve

If you are using NTFS turn on indexing service for your GPL folder (right-click/properties/advanced) for some strange reason GPL won't run without it, other than that an up to date version of GPL will run fine under XP.

Ah, thx for that. I just went back to an XP only machine today and had the same problem with GPL when XP was first released. At the time no one could come up with a fix so I went to dual boot Win98/XP. I've done this install of XP using FAT32 though so should be ok, but that info is good to know for future reference. Think I'll go install GPL now and see how it runs on XP with my new GF4 4200.
