Anyone running Grand Prix Lengends successfully under XP??? I was finally
able to run it under Windows 2000 and Windows 98, but it won't run under XP.
I'm even using the exact same Geforce 3 drivers that I used in Windows 2000.
When I run the game, it comes up, the screen goes black and then the game
screen comes up. But then shortly after that, I pop back to the desktop.
I've downloaded and install the d3d patch. When I started the game for the
first time, it asked what video I should run. Seeing how Geforce3 wasn't
listed I just chose one that I thought might work. I think I chose 3dfx
glide. It doesn't ask that question anymore, so how can I change it now to
something else??
Thanks,
Jeff
system specs:
Dell Dimension 8100 1.3 ghz
LeadTek Geforce3 TD - 64mb of ram

It works great in winxp
edit the app.ini and change
this:
[ Graphics ]
lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll
[ Graphics ]
lastRasterizerDLL = rastd3d7.dll

If you have a problem with stuttering in D3D,
download the OpenGL DLL.

You don't have a 3dfx
card. Edit the app.ini per floppy's instructions.
