Hi everyone I've been trying to get Grand Prix 4 working on my laptop it's an Asus i5 laptop I can get the game running but in the menu screens when I click on something it randomly crashes to desktop. I have Windows 10. Does anyone know is there a way to get it working smoothly? Grand Prix 3 works fine on my laptop but GP4 keeps crashing.

I'm playing on a laptop and it works fine for me - although I'm running Windows 7. (I'm running it in Windows XP compatibility mode.) So it's either the operation system or a combination of the operation system and trying to play on a laptop rather than simply trying to play on a laptop.

If I were you, I would ask around for advice among the Windows 10 laptop users. :)

Gp4 runs perfectly on Windows 10 equipped laptops. Make sure your video card drivers are up to date. If I remember correctly, Windows 10 downloaded a program called Direct Play the first time I tried playing Gp4. You could check if you have Direct Play and if not, download and install. With Windows 10, there is no need to run in Windows XP compatibilty mode.
