Okay, I've been looking for a good game to keep myself sharp in the autocross off-season, and GPL with a FF wheel was recommended, so here I am. When installing GPL I get an error message: "ActiveMovie Setup: The version of ActiveMovie that you are trying to install is older than the one already present on your system. ActiveMovie Setup cannot upgrade an existing installation if the version is newer or the language is different. Please uninstall your existing ActiveMovie and then run setup again." The PC is a PII 450, Win2k, Voodoo 3 3000, SP Live!, 256Mb ram. Newest drivers and DirectX, yadda, yadda. When I attempt to run the game, it begins to load (shows the 3DFX splash screen and the GPL splash page) and then goes to what I guess is a very garbled main menu page. It then becomes unresponsive. I can't figure out how to uninstall ActiveMovie. I have looked in the "Add/Remove" programs menu, but there's nothing there by that name. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game many times and keep getting the same error. I have also installed the 1.2 patch from your website. I have made sure that I have the latest sound, video, and DirectX drivers. Please give me some hints on how to proceed, because I need a good game to play in the autocross off-season! TIA, Dan. --------------------------------------------------------- * Are you liberal, conservative, libertarian -- or other? It only takes a minute to find out!
