GPL: New motherboard, CPU,............no GPL

I just upgraded my system with dreams of impoving my framerate enough to play on VROC. I now have a Abit BX6v2 motherboard with a Celeron 300a OC'd to 450. When I start GPL I have no mouse pointer and cannot navigate the screens, although I can use the escape key to back out to the desktop, but then Win95 will be frozen and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot. I have a Monster Voodoo II and a Kensington trackball from my old setup installed. I have tried DirectX 6.0, 6.1, the Diamond drivers (old & new), and the 3DFX reference drivers. All with glide2x.dll from the 2.53 version of Glide in my GPL directory without success. Anybody have any suggestions, I miss my Lotus. Thanks, Randy To email me remove the "u"s

See if loading a standard mouse driver instead of the Kensington gets it going for you. Chris "How can you run from a dead person, unless you're dead yourself?" -Venus in Furs --Horrornews--Horrorchat--Reviews--General filth-- Mortado's Page of Filth http://www.shadows.com/mortado/

geez....try installing the game again with a full install...maybe the cd access somehow boots you...i dunno...a full install wont need to access the cd...it's worth a shot....and good luck.

says... My guess is that you simply replaced your motherboard and re-used your old hard drive (with the old windows installation on it). While this should be fine most of the time, sometimes it isn't. I've NEVER been able to get away with that personally. I've always had to reinstall Windows to get it to work right. If nothing else fixes the problem, you might want to do this. -- ========================================================= John Simmons - Redneck Techno-Biker (Zerex12) http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html John Simmons - Barbarian Diecast Collector http://members.home.net/jsimm/diecast_index.html IGPS (Season 2) Director http://207.104.111.77/igps2/igps2.html If you want to send me email, go to either of the URL's shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

also some peripheral INI files sometimes need tweaking.....on my mouse in it's INI file I've had to replace the word software with the word hardware after one of the required input settings.This may also be the case with your peripheral as well.
