GPL problems

I installed GPL and was trying to follow the guide around Watkins Glen. It says that I should be following the "groove" - a graphics option. When I go the graphics options, the "racing groove" box is greyed out. Any suggestions? Also,I made sure that I chose 3dfx when I installed the game, but when I go to enable my 3dfx card, the game tells me that my "new 3d accel choice will not take effect until rester of game". When I exit out and restart, the 3d accel choice is back to "none". Any and all help will e greatly appreciated. Graeme

Graeme, what kind of video card do you have? On Sun, 27 Dec 1998 13:42:05 -0700, "Graeme Weston-Lewis"

Make sure your config files (*.ini) are not read-only. A. Renault

When I go >the graphics options, the "racing groove" box is greyed out. Any >suggestions? This is normal if the game runs in "software acceleration" mode (i.e. 3d acc is "none".) Seems as if GPL does this when the new mode you selected isn't working for some reason. Make sure you have all the drivers for your Voodoo card installed properly. Just in case: You know that you need a VooDoo 1 or 2, or a Banshee card to use the 3dfx mode? -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.
