GP2 CTD crash - full screen error.
GP2 CTD crash - full screen error.
Hi there. I have recently acquired a very old pc (16mb or ram, Pentium P51437/250A) and I have just installed a fresh copy of windows 95a on the machine. First things first, install gp2. Problem is, I get a crash to desktop with a quick white notepad-ish screen popping up. It says that gp2 must run in a full-screen mode, Press ALT+ENETR for full-screen mode. This is weird because it is already running in full screen and in properties, it is set to run in full screen. I know 16mb ram is over the recommended for gp2 but would windows be using most of it to boot? Any help would much be appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure about the others, but I don't know what "CTD" means...

Crash to desktop
I really don't know how Win95 works or how to troubleshoot this. I vaguely remember being able to run GP2 directly from DOS, starting the computer in DOS mode instead of Windows during the Windows 98 days.torana_05 wrote: ↑05.06.2020, 07:14Hi there.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried that idea but yes booting into dos mode does sound like it will work. Weird. I remember on our old Win95 pc it used to work no problems. Ahh the joy of troubleshooting with a 15 year old OS
