Help, I recently started running GPL again, but it crashes when I try to start a single (player) race. I can run fine in practice but when I try to start a single-race it hangs whilst drawing the cars in pit-lane. I have managed to run one race with 5 opponents but after I tried to increase the number of opponents it started crashing and now it won't run even with 5. I have a PIII 800 mhz with 128MB and a Voodoo 5500. I use a Logitech GP FF. I am running the UK version of the game with patch 1.2 that is 1.2.0.1 and Directx 7.0 I am also using a nocd patch. I need the nocd patch because the cd copy protection won't run on my cd-player (Yamaha cdr). For the same reason it wouldnt run with the new cpufix patch. I can get a race to start in software mode. I have tried removing absolutely all details but it still crashes as it draws the cars in Pit lane I have also tried a complete reinstall to new directory from the (original) cd. Anyone have any ideas? regards Graham
