GPL -does not start (again)

I am getting desperate .... I played GPL for more than a year, now it does not start up. The first screen appears (the black one with the version number) and then it hangs up. I tried all kinds of drivers, but that is not the problem! The game never comes to start the game, it even does not try to load it. What can I do? Jochen

I just had this problem. I fixed it by taking the original GPL.EXE from the cd, put in in the GPL directory, and it started fine. I then went back and re-installed the 1.2 patch and have been thrashing around the worlds great circuits again in fine style :) Chris
