Re: HELP: GPL won't re-install!

Remco, That did it! I set: disable_modem = 1 in core.ini, and all my problems went away. It turns out my modem had wigged out on me. Many, many thanks. Dave "Remco Moedt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hi, I've had GPL running fine on my system for a couple of months. A few days ago, I moved all my games into a common directory, to clean up my root directory. I created E:\GAMES, and copied all games into it. In the case of GPL, I copied E:\SIERRA\GPL into E:\GAMES\SIERRA\GPL. I then edited the registry to point all relevant references to their new directories. Lastly, I edited the SIERRA.INI file in c:\windows. This worked for every game except GPL. GPL would start up to the initial spash screen, then freeze. I was able to kill it by doing CTL-ALT-DELETE and closing the 'Papyrus Window.' This occurs in both 3dfx and software modes. Accepting defeat, I uninstalled GPL and re-installed. Same symptoms! OK, uninstall, then install to the old directory location, thinking perhaps there was a registry entry I missed. Still no joy. Uninstall all Sierra products, go through the registry with a fine-toothed comb to remove any Sierra related entries. re-install, still no go. There seems to be nothing I can do to get GPL back up and running. I'm afraid that Sierra has implemented some sort of copy protection for the game which is now hosed, and is keeping me from installing a fresh copy. I've sent email to Sierra, but past experience leads me to believe I'll never get a response. Please help! I have a PII-350 w/ 160MB, Win98 release 2, DX 7.0a, all windows updates applied. Video: CL Voodoo 2 8mb, CL Riva TNT2 Ultra. All updated drivers as of 4/1. Audio: Creative AudioPCI. All updated drivers as of 4/1. Controller: Guillemot Ferrari Force USB. All updated drivers as of 4/1. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Dave Del Signore

Shot in the dark.....start GPL. and wait 30 minutes.....does it start during this time, then it's a modem issue, which you can solve with the GPL 1.2 patch (possible a CORE.INI entry needed). Remco "Dave Del Signore" <[email hidden]> wrote:
