Have you tried DosBox? That program doesn`t work with GP2Lap, but at least you can use the "traditional" GP2.exe

A second possibility is to set up a virtual Win98 PC with Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, hope this helps.

Thank you ever so much! has I think you can tell it worked complicated program to use tho for a dumbass like me lol, took me 3 hours to work out how to mount this that and the other but again than you

*EDIT*Could never get GPlap to work lol anyway but I've lived with out it so far

DosBox could need a handy cfg-file editor, that`s true Maybe one of the available frontends on the dosbox-site can help you, I never tried any one, so I can`t tell

Great it works now, happy racing

D-Fend Reloaded is very good.
