                    Well, those are bad and good news at the same time.
                    Sad that your memory seems to be a bit to low to handle the ABB-Installation completely, but maybe we´ll still find a solution for you which will work at least. There are so many tweaks we can do, beginning from your screen-resolution up to the number of cars which will show up, Car-Details and so on...

                    But it´s fine that you now got all the content which ABB provides and you´re able to use it, even if you´ll do it on a different way as suggested.

                    And off course we can fully understand that you´ve got a live beneath GTL, hehehe... we all have a family, have to work, or maybe a yard which needs some attention

                    Maybe, for the beginning, it will help us when you´ll tell us a bit more about your PC, how much RAM-memory you´ve got, which processor is used on your Mainboard, which Grafic-Card you use and so on...

                    And I only can repeat it: whenever you´ve got questions, just ask. We´ll help you!

                    If you like, i could give you some .plr-settings made for my floormates MS-Sidewinder.

                    In some cases, the Word-Pad or standard windows txt-editor will refuse to save with an ending different to txt, rtf or so on. At least I had that problem under Windows 7 pro x64.

                    I'm using "notepad++" for editing my .plr (and other files as well). It is freeware and works well on WinXP too.

                    For that Memory-issue:
                    What kind of machine is it? "14 years old" fits a lot of different hardware.
                    I mean, what CPU is working? how much RAM do you have? What sort of Graphics-adapter do you use and how much VRAM does it have?
                    If youre unsure of such information, download CPU-Z ... after a while you will be able to read all that info out of that little App.
                    Versions below 1.50 may even run withourt installing

                    Maybe someone here has some kind of "wierd" solution to that issue ... but that will need further info on your hardware.

                    regards
                    Olaf

                    I really wish I had the time to play this sim more, I really love throwing the classics around the track. And yes, I'd love to get all the content back on this old gal and try to run on line.

                    As for my system, this is the system info from GTR2,

                    DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.00.0904)
                    CPU Type: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ @ 868 MHz 868 MHz
                    Video Card: Radeon X1650 Series
                    Video RAM: 549 MB

                    It's a HP Pavilion 742n with 1.66 GHz 2 gigs of ram.. to add insult to injury, I had one of the last Dell XP machines stolen from me when a "friend" was storing my stuff while I moved. It could run anything I threw at it.

                    Yeah, Olaf, please send or post your Sidewinder stuff, I ran the Momo for years thinking it had a better "feel" then the Sidewinder. Long story short, the sidewinder was sitting in a closet until one of my dogs ate the usb wire on the Momo, had a friend fix it, while he was doing that I hooked up the Sidewinder and loved it.

                    And I'd love to participate more in this community, you guys seem like a good bunch, but the only German I know other then my name is what little I picked up from Rammstein, LOL!

                    check

                    It's a HP Pavilion 742n with 1.66 GHz 2 gigs of ram..

                    hmm ... my guess ... not enough cpu-power (in GTL and GTR2 car geometry and physics are managed by cpu) ... at least not for running the full abb-content.
                    plus a little more RAM could do. XP can handle up to 4 gig ... and GTL can do that to ... after beeing patched
                    Maybe the Problem here, is the mix of CPU and RAM. small RAM with fast CPU might work ... slow CPU with huge RAM may work too ... but slow AND small may cause problems.

                    Yeah, Olaf, please send or post your Sidewinder stuff ...
                    I'lll see to get my hands on that stuff asap
                    But it's not on my PC, so that might take a while.
                    I'll simply attach the proper lines of that .plr-file in a .txt-file to a posting here ... they then can be easily be copied, where ever you like
                    but i recomend to overwrite the proper lines of your .plr with them ... AFTER saving that original thing

                    regards
                    Olaf

                    Windows 7 machines are coming down in price and I know all my games still run on that platform, so I'll be picking one of those up sooner or later.

                    I'm slowly figuring out the wheel and I full well know about loosing or miss placing stuff, I've had to machines blow up and one stolen that I didn't have all my files backed up on.
