Re: Wo did Install GPL on W2k?

I have neither. I use OpenGL mode since I got a Nvidia TNT2. But before you go about use a glide2x version, just use the default ones should do you fine, but make sure that under dxdiag.exe in your winnt/system32 directory, windows knows and has glide drivers for your card. Cause if it doesn't, gpl won't run in 2000 untill you have it, so I recommend you download latest 3dfx drivers fromt he company, not card maker -- Sincerely, Mark F.

Ok, I've installed GPL with perfect success in Windows 2000. Never a problem, I don't recall if I ignored the 'wininet.dll' everyone's talking about, but I never installed the the directx update files in gpl and I made sure the active soemthing thing also failed itself. Other then that, I installed the latest patch and works fine without a problem. -- Sincerely, Mark F. E-Mail: [email hidden] ICQ: 2164331 AOL IM: DaRacerz SimGo, Your SimRacing Specialists!!!

This is how I got GPL to run on W2K. ( And it runs just as well as it runs on W98/SE ). 1- Install GPL... ignore wininet.dll message and any following messages/warnings. ( If I remember correctly you get one about Direct X version, and one about avi playback ). 2- After install you will find a GPL update icon on your start menu. Run it and update the game. 3- Download and install the 1.2 patch. 4- Down load and install the GPL glide patch ( Unofficial 3dfx GPL Patch ), which consists of : Glide2x.dll Glide.ini Gplform.txt Make sure you get the latest version. Mine is v1.0.0.6 - follow the instructions carefully! 5- Run the game and enjoy. ( hopefully ) :-) Sorry I cant give you the URL`s, but you may get the links from the web page of Alison Hines, link follows. http://simracing.com/Alison/gpl/ Hope this helps. Regards

Do you have a V2 or a V3? What's your glide2x version? Thanks Andrew

It knows I have the V3 glide drivers, they just crash the machine on running though (these are the latest 3dfx win2k drivers)! I could try OpenGL I suppose... Andrew

Good ol' Wo. He always seems to get it right! * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

If you send me your email address I'll send you the fix. It's on most sites, but I just can't find one at the moment! It's only 30k.
