Folks please help!!!!
GP4 arrived this morning, I have followed the videos I have seen elsewhere about Disabling Secure Boot and have turned off DEP in my Windows 10 but I still get a message saying 'Error extracting support files: This process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process'

Thing is, it ain't!

I am right clicking and selecting 'Run as Administrator' so doing all I have been told but I must be going wrong somewhere!

Can anyone help????

Cheers

Burn the cd to an iso, then install a virtual cd drive, mount the cd iso to the virtual drive and install.

ISO burners are free, so is virtual drive software. Look Here and also here.
I suggest you also take a look at the GP4FAQ, pinned topic this forum. There is a comprehensive guide on installing GP4, you need the v1.02 no-cd exe and the latest version of gpx_patch. If you wish to run a GP4 mod, you need to install CSM-Zaz Tools.
Additionally, a ready to play version of GP4, already burned to an iso file, can be found here GP4Central.

Start | Run | Type services.msc and hit OK | Scroll down to "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)", right click and select "Properties" | Make sure the "Startup type" is set to "Automatic".

Start | Run | Type msconfig and hit OK) | "General" tab | Make sure "Normal Startup" is selected under "Startup Configuration".

REBOOT and try again.

The answer can be found in the FAQ. I will mark this thread as solved.
