GPL: Game hangs after mousemovement

Hello, I just installed (or at least try to install) GPL but encounter problems whilst configuring (identification part): The game (in fact my computer) freezes all of a sudden and all I can do is perform a reset. Does anybody know what's wrong? Please help! Jan.

It's because you have a serial mouse. The 3dfx version of GPL only works with a Ps/2 mouse. Connect a Ps/2 mouse to your ps/2 mouse port. If you don't have a Ps/2 mouse port you have a big problem.... -MiXer-

Now GPL will find % it and use it before it looks in your Windows\system for Glide, but all your % other games will use the newer one in your Windows\system directory. And you can get the file at http://www.grandprix2.com/gpl/patches/glide2x_253.zip G. Patricks

Mixer, I have an MS serial mouse connected to my PII 450 and EVERYTHING (including GPL and N99) works perfectly. Must be something else ??? Take care, EE

What is your system config? cpu,video etc? More info the better. John

Thanks all of you for your information. The switch beack to glide version 2.53 solved the problem for me. I hope this helps other newbies when they encounter this 'hang'. Jan.

Don't laugh. On my last computer when I upgraded to Windows95 from Windows for Workgroups 3.22, I couldn't use my modem at first. And it turned to be related to animated cursors. It seems like the geniuses who wrote the device drivers for my S3 based video card decided to ignore the proper address boundaries and were stomping on COM Port 2. I could only use a modem on COM Port 4 because of my video card! Dave Ewing
