GPL problem

9 posts by 5 people · 08 Jun 1998 - 10 Jun 1998

This weekend I thought I'd see what everyone's been raving on about, and install the GPL demo. The install seemed to work, but when trying to run GPL I get an error message about a missing library \WINDOWS\SVRAPI.DLL. Any idea where I can get hold of this ? -- UK.
U running Win98 or Win95, Andrew?

Apologies in advance if I'm being incredibly thick here, but I've not seen anyone else having problems with missing libraries when trying to run the GPL demo. It's now complaining about another missing library SECUR32.DLL. What the hell's going on?! Maybe I'll try a reinstall of Win95. BTW I've previously installed GP2, TOCA and other demos with no problems. -- UK.

Those files are part of Win95 networking. My guess is that you don't have networking installed in your home computer? I'm pretty sure GPL demo looks for a network connection upon startup (we all remember the dial-up hassle?), and if it can't find network components, it gives an error message. Try installing Dial-up adapter and IP protocol ... that should take care of it. Hena
