Hi Guys I was wondering if anyone can help? Im playing this game and i'm doing reasonably well. I start my 3rd season with Mclaren. Despite both cars qualifying well. top 6 almost every race, sometimes pole they both crash out due to a variety of errors. Part failures, collisions, spun off etc. Is this a bug or something that anyone knows anything about?

I´ve tried to play this when it first came out, but ia gave up at the time, I thought the game was too much difficult.

Hello,

I can run it under Windows 7. I write some instructions: please take them 'as it is', even if they aren't a very efficient solution everyone can make them and maybe can help you.

1- Create the folder C:\GPM2 (or similar) and paste there the files, make sure that the folder "system" is there.

2- Go in C:\GPM2\system, right click on wind32.dll and give your user the permissions to manage this file, then do the same for all the other 4 files named "wing...".

3- Go in C:\GPM2, create a new text file, name it GPM2_RUN.BAT and paste the following content inside:
echo off
echo ### Will copy temporary the 32-bit DLLs - needs to be run as administrator - Press a key
pause
cd\
cd C:\GPM2
copy C:\GPM2\system\wing32.dll c:\windows\system32\wing32.dll
copy C:\GPM2\system\wing.dll c:\windows\system32\wing.dll
copy C:\GPM2\system\wingde.dll c:\windows\system32\wingde.dll
copy C:\GPM2\system\wingdib.drv c:\windows\system32\wingdib.drv
copy C:\GPM2\system\wingpal.wnd c:\windows\system32\wingpal.wnd
cd C:\GPM2
echo ###
echo ### PRESS A KEY TO START
echo ### (AFTER THE EXIT, PRESS A KEY AGAIN - TO RUN GPM_END.bat)
pause
GPM2.EXE
pause
cd C:\GPM2
CALL GPM_END.bat

4- Go in C:\GPM2, create a new text file, name it GPM2_END.BAT and paste the following content inside:
echo ### Will remove temporary the 32-bit DLLs - needs to be run as administrator - Press a key
pause
cd\
del c:\windows\system32\wing32.dll
del c:\windows\system32\wing.dll
del c:\windows\system32\wingde.dll
del c:\windows\system32\wingdib.drv
del c:\windows\system32\wingpal.wnd
cd C:\GPM2
echo ### END - TYPE EXIT

5- Go in Windows menu - > All programs - > Accessories , click with right mouse on "Command prompt" and then click on "Send to - > Desktop (create shortcut)"

6- Move the new link "Command Prompt" from Desktop to C:\GPM2

7- Right click on the new link "Command Prompt", select Properties, modify the item Destination from "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe" to "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe start /k "cd C:\GPM2"". Rename the link "Command prompt" to "GPM2 - RUN THIS AS ADMIN - TYPE GPM2_RUN"

8- Right click on GPM2.EXE, select Properties, then select the tab "Compatibility" and select "256 colors", "Run as administrator" and "Run as compatible with Win98"

9- Finally, right click on the new "GPM2 - RUN THIS... " link, select "Run as administrator", wait for the command window to open, then type GPM2_RUN to start it. If this doesn't run completely, try to launch GPM2.EXE as administrator manually.

Note: In C:\GPM2\system there is also a file GPM2MICP.INI, but for me it was not necessary to modify it.

Thank you for your attention.
Have fun!

P.S. In Step 3, the last line should be CALL GPM2_END.bat

NEED HELP JUST FOUND MY OLD DISC AND WAS WONDERING IS THERE ANY CHANCE I CAN PLAY THIS ON A MACBOOK PRO ?

Anyone manage to get this working on Windows 7, I've moved the Wing32.dll file into the System32 folder (all of the files from the 'system' game folder infact) and still get the error saying not there, selected the option to run in Win95 and 256 Colour mode and still no joy, tried the CmdPrompt thing to and it just fails.

Anyone got any other ideas

There is one slight problem, if you have x64 system. When x64 was introduced, MS made one quirky change to the Windows(es): any 64-bit exe sees System32 as system folder, but any 32-bit exe sees SysWOW64 folder instead as System32. So if your system is 64-bit, you need to put your files into SysWOW64, not in the System32 (I have no idea if it will work though, but System32 essentially invisible for 32-bit anyway).
