GPL crashes right after starting the game

Hi! I just thought i might give GPL another try and bought the original game, german version. After installation, when i start the game i see a black screen with the GPL logo, some disclaimer taxt and ther version number in the lower right corner. That's all that happens. Then the whole PC is frozen. Only the reset button will help. When installing the game, i used the software drivers to be on the safe side. Didn't help though.... My configuration is: PIII-500, 256 MB RAM, Diamond Viper 550 (TNT2), Win98. Any hints how to solve this problem? -- Mit freundlichen Gr��en Christoph Brylka

I went out and bought GPL because so many folks in RAS rave about it. Never could get the darn thing to stop randomly locking up. Biggest waste of ten bucks ever. The only time I use the GPL cd is when I tape it to my forehead, when the wife and I are playing "the doctor and the naughty nurse'.

LOL at the doctor remark :) Let me guess - 3dfx user? a glide2x.dll version released shortly after the release of GPL causes the random lockups - mail me if you still want to have the correct dll file. "GPL biggest waste of ten bucks ever".. jeez :) Andre

What video card do you have George? What are your other system specs...ie processor and speed, the amount of memory, your operating system and which version of Direct X are you running. There is a-lot you can to get your computer running properly without lockups...but we need info to help. btw...is Judy free tonight? dave henrie "George Jetson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9qhgua$b1g$[email hidden]...
