OK, guys...maybe someone can help me with this.
First thing is, every time I try to run GPL, it starts Dial Up Networking. I've seen a fix posted for this, but it does not apply to MSIE 4.01..the connect as needed checkbox doesn't exist. Any ideas?
Next, I've been able to actually drive the car a couple times...but it always ends up with the graphics frozen. The sim is still running, as you can hear the car respond to throttle, etc., but just a still picture on the screen. To recover, I have to use the reset button, not ALT-CTL-DEL. From what I've seen, about 1 1/2 laps, the framerate is great, and the physics model seems outstanding....but I want more!
My system is a P166MMX, 32 MB RAM, witha Stealth II...and yes, I am running GPL in Rendition mode......thanks in advance for any help.

that could be your screensaver kicking in in the background - try
the game after turning off your screensaver and see if it helps. I
had to do that after the first time i played and it locked up after
5 mins. but it might be something else of course:)

out of the pits at 2 fps and dies in half a lap :-(
Try bringing up win95 alone. Bypass all start up programs by holding
down the shift key when the "clouds" screen appears. Disable any virus
protection you may have running. This eliminates any conflicts you may
have with other
"NON RACIN'" software. GIve it a try.
