GP2 on a modern PC?
I just got hold of the classic Grand Prix 2 on PC for 99p, but my problem is that I have a modern PC which uses Windows XP. I'm a total computer dunce and it seems to me that there's no way I can get this game to play on my computer.
Please someone prove me wrong! seriously, any help will be very much appreciated. |

Get rid of GP2, don't even think about buying GP3 or GP4. (i have them both and they suck)
Get GPL. |

surprisingly, I asctually got the game working through the DVD drive last night. The game itself was fine, but the front end was all mashed up which made navigating the options impossible. Still, I played it, so there's a mini-triumph anyway!

If I remember correctly, GP2 could only run from DOS. Try that and I think it will solve your problem.
