GP4 problems

Help!!!! I've just installed GP4 on my PC with this Hardware: Athlon XP 2000+, Sk.Video GeForce4 MX440 64MB DDR (latest nVidia Driver+ DirectX 9), 512 Mb RAM... It'terribly slow:the tragedy is that accidentally I pressed the 'o' key in order to check CPU occupancy and I realized that the game speeds up very fast even at 1024x768 resolution at 26 fps (the same happens for any key that I strike except those needed for the game i.e.:a z , . ; mouse wheel included ). Who can give me a suggestion on what's going on ? I'm very upset for this: I've also bought MS steering wheel to enjoy GP4 properly !!!! Thanks

Sorry actually I do not know why your sim is doing that. My suggestion for the .cfg file has nothing to do with that problem.
