I have it working with Win98. You have to make a few modifications to the installation to make it work. Solutions have been posted in this group. I can repeat it if you dont find it :-)

Now I'm at work and dont have GPL on my PC :-) First uninstall GPL if you have used the normal install procedure. 1. Unpack the gpldemo.exe to c:\gpl using winzip. (Dont run the file) 2. Copy wininet.dll from c:\gpl to c:\gpl\program 3. Make c:\gpl\program\controls directory 4. Make c:\gpl\program\options.ini writable 5. Start the game from c:\gpl\program\gpl.exe 6. Calibrate joystick/wheel. Exit program before "entering" the car Here I dont remember, but I think you shall copy the options.ini from c:\gpl\program\controls to c:\gpl\program directory 7. edit c:\gpl\program\options.ini to reflect the 3dcard you use lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll (if you have 3dfx card) 8. Make c:\gpl\\program\options.ini read only. 9. Start the game. It should now be working I hope Hope this helps -Jan Otto
