I recently downloaded GPL demo but I can't get it to run in XP. When I
start the program, the title screen comes up and then I get kicked back out
to my desktop. I have tried the Program Compatibiltiy Wizard and running as
win98. Running as win98, the title screen hangs.
System specs:
P3-1000
512MB
Geforce4 Ti4400
Plantronics DSP-500 USB Headphones
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to allow indexing on the gpl folder for NTFS partitioned drives.
You can apparently patch the demo with the 1.2 & CPU fix patches (and
probably others) to get the Force Feedback & stuff too, although I've
never done it myself.
You can apply add-on tracks & graphics updates to the demo too if you want
a bit more of an idea of what the full title is like.

apply.
Eventually gave up and got hold of the full version instead, which of course
works perfectly.
