Got a big problem i cant play GP2 now i have a new motherboard after my last one self descructed. I just get an error Message

VDMS Launchpad GP2

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:9196 IP:016f OP:ff 96 ff 20 Choose 'Close to terminate the application.

Now i know with some error messages on old games you click Ignore and the games run smoothly and without probems but this is not the case here.

Could anyone help, I know this is not the ideal place to ask but maybe on of you old die hards have had this problem too, if no-cant can someone direct me somewhere where i can get help thank you

*EDIT* btw I have Windows XP and play the game using the VDMS program

anyone please?

Ive tried the usaual stuff like compactability moda and running 256 colours stc. but nothing works works.
If no-one can help me dricetly. could someone plesase direct me to a webstie where i can some support.

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
