I installed the 1.2 patch for GPL but now it won't start. I double-click the shortcut as usual but nothing happens. I've got an online race tonight and I've gotta get this 1.2 patch working. Any ideas???? roy

Short-term start it with the run command. Choose start then run then brose to your gpl folder and double clik on the gpl.exe. Good luck dave henrie > I installed the 1.2 patch for GPL but now it won't start. I double-click > the shortcut as usual but nothing happens.

Hmm, isn't the main file still gpl.exe? How come you have to make a new shortcut, then? ---A---

Hm, maybe you got the leaked beta of the patch. The beta expires on Oct 1. Make sure you got the offical version from papys site. bye Ivo > I installed the 1.2 patch for GPL but now it won't start.

Roy, Can you start gpl from gpl.exe in the gpl directory? If yes,then delete the shortcut and create a new one. Joel Willstein

You guessed it, Ivo. I still had the beta 1.2 patch in my download folder. I also had the official papy patch in the same folder but I unzipped the beta and installed it without seeing the other, papyrus, patch. All is well, now, all is well. Thanks Ivo, and thanks to the other people who offered their suggestions. buzz
