HELP - F1GP ed2.0 for Win doesn't work

Hi ! Could someone please help me to get the GP-editor 2.0 for Windows to work properly. I have been trying to update to the -95 drivers and cars for several days with no luck. The editor always seems to do the updating correctly but when I run gp.exe the machine just says that "packed file is corrupt". I have tried this with European versions 1.03 and 1.05, with Windows 3.1 and 3.11 and with several different software cofigurations. Always with the same result. I even tried to "unexepack" the gp.exe file first but then the updating is not done correctly. If you have any suggestions, please tell me ! Thanks,

I had the same problem with 1.05 and had to reinstall the original game gp.exe, after which the problem never reoccured. I think this was because I'd previously used F1Ed on it; using unexepak will also make the problem much worse (but you say you didn't do that :-). Let's hope version 2 has a decent editor built in. *sigh* CHisa -- Gizmo -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Launchpad is an experimental internet BBS.

I used to have gped 2.0 and never had any problems. Then I accidently deleted it and found wcfged5.0 or whatever that had v1.0. I also found f1ed which is a dos version. I used those and couldn't get them to work properly, so I finally found where I ftp'd gped2.0 from, and reinstalled it. I kept getting the same thing as you, so I moved all my helmet, car, setup files, etc to a totally different directory and reinstalled world circuit. I then moved my files back, edited the gp.exe as I wished, and am having lots of fun! I suspect the problem was with things that the other editors were doing to it, and not with gpeditor at all, since I couldn't get the other ones to recognize my gp.exe either.
