D'loaded the monza.zip track file, followed all the directions in the accompanying readme file, yet the demo still will only load the Watkins Glen track. I don't know how this is happening as I have moved WG from the Tracks folder to a separate temp folder and replaced it with the Monza folder. Any help is appreciated.

Check if you have really exactly *one* installation of the GPL demo on your machine. The install program unzips the whole thing and then copies it to a different directory, IIRC, without erasing the install files. It's possible that you copied the track to the wrong "tracks" folder. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.

Sometimes, after installation, there is a duplo directory present on your system. Check out if this is the case. Remco
...and you've renamed the new folder "watglen" have you?

That isn't necessary, is it Bruce ? I put my new track in a "Monza" subdirectory and it seems to work OK Andy

Fair enough, Andy. If yours is working okay then there's no drama.

Me too, mine is in a new "Monza" directory and works fine (apart from occasional lock-ups?) 8-) -- *Peter* 8-)

Mine works fine as long as I have one track directory ONLY. I cannot have both WATGLEN and MONZA directories. Either one by itself is OK. Robin
