Hi Eric,

I´m astonished about that development with win7-64bit. "configure GPxPatch and GP3 exe to be compatible with Vista SP2" should do the trick
- this could solve Rods problems and bring us the long awaited Season-7 ))

Yes, I didn't install from CD... Just copied the whole GP3 folder to your new PC and remember the exe configuration mentioned before

Also some editors works that way if one can find an installed version somewhere and just copy the folder (GP3Editor/jameditor/careditor etc...)

Hope you succeed :>

Sorry guys, "just copying" a GP3-folder into a "fresh" windows never worked in my case because of missing windows-registry-entries.
After copying GP3-folder I always used "Grand Prix 3 Registrytool" (use google) with it to solve this problem (works 100% for v1.13 and 2000).

cheers!

I will have a test this week end in that case. If it doesn't work, I will have a second try in one week after installing inboard GC driver because I don't have time at the moment. Then if it still doesn't work, I will try pirx tip (hoping I won't need this one and fix the issue B4)

As mentioned in earlier post I can't remember if I did a installation from CD afterwards (don't think so to be honest), but try it out even if it doesn't do the whole installation. And finally I run all exe's as administrator... :>

Well.... That didn't work. (at least with GP3, didn't test 2000) I will have a deep look next week .
But shlund, I guess you installed first the game on your comp to have all the keys installed in regedit as said pirx previously and later just reinstalled a copy of your folder.
