Grans Prix Legends won't work!

I have a homebuilt Pentium 200 MMX 32MB RAM Matrox Mystique driver v 4.10.1682 (Win98) Diamond Monster 3D driver v 1.10 Soundblaster AWE64 value Gravis GamePad Pro I can get to the track selection screen fine, but when I press on the green flag, what sounds like someone talking over a P.A. system starts and then is cut short. Then a loud garbled noise comes from the speakers, which sounds like a cassete tape being eaten by a player. The whole time the screen is still on the track selection and the only thing I can do is Control-Alt-Delete to close the program. This leaves the computer running very slow, so I have to shutdown the computer and reboot. I think I have common-enough hardware. What is going wrong? Roger Majoros

You might want to do a search of Deja-News, but it appears that the GPL demo isn't working with Win98. Maybe someone out there has found a fix? Good luck. don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caricciola

get rid of win 98, check your video drivers gpl is awesome!

It DOES work under W98...there are several postings here that refer to the fix for it. There is no need for the user to get rid of '98.
