Sad news for me :(

Hello everyone, I trust that you had a better day than I had yesterday?

In addition to falling off a Segway and injuring myself in a karting accident, I also found out that my PC is now dead.
However, I am getting a new PC in a couple of weeks time. On the other hand, there is a catch...
My new computer will be a Windows 7, which means that unless the boffins here can figure out some way of making GP3 work on Windows 7...

My GP3 days, modding and all, are now over.

I must say that it is great to see a dedicated group of people still producing fantastic new content for this phenomenal game (special mention to Pirx for the awesome 2012 mod) and I hope that this continues long after I have gone.
Also, my stuff is still up on Mediafire, the link is in one of the forum topics here
My modding days, on the whole, seem to be far from over, though. There is a good chance that I will move on to produce GP4 content so keep an eye out for that if it ever does come.

Thank you for your support, it's been a fantastic time
Matthew Allington

couldn't do a partition with Winxp too? I faced the same when switching from win98 to xp to save the old glory stuff, maybe it can work again. I am scared too of the moment i'll move to this win7 thing

I'm getting a pre-built one, that way my dad's workplace can cover the cost, and I don't beleive that I could do the same in that case

..but you don´t have to leave -GP3 works on Win7 totaly normal.

Only connecting 2 Computers and play over IPX-network connection is not possible in win7, because Mircosoft erased IPX after winXP!
(that´s my experience)

correction:
Win7 in 32bit mode works as described above, but i´m sure you´ll use it in 64bit so you have to make a second partition as all other people said here.. sorry!

But GP3 has a notorious record on Win7! We'll just have to wait and see...

Same advice that Roberto. A pre-built computer is not a problem for that. If you don't feel confident doing it, maybe you can ask to somebody at your dad's work to make the stuff.

I format another partition in FAT 32, with Windows 7, and GP3 runs just perfect.
