Can anybody verify if it works on win98 SE?

Forget it. I believed what they put on the box in the German version
("98SE recommended", haha), and was genuinely bitten in the proverbial
arse by the marketing blurb. Esp. the online part was worthless with
earlier patches, but I doubt they've put any money or effort into
improving the 98SE support.

Meanwhile I've stuffed about 500 Eus worth of hardware in the box and
"upgraded" to winxp pro SP2 (company license). Was it worth it? Every
cent ;-)

All the best,

uwe

Yes it works. At least in my system.

Totally agree.

ISI engined sims can take a bit of tweaking to get right with your wheel.
Invest the time with the demo.

I've long failed miserably with ISI based sims. Finally got it working well
with the GTR demo and rushed out to buy the game.

Now I am hooked

Cheers

It seems so yes, says so in the box.

As a fellow South African, all I can say is : GET IT. It'll give you
something to do instead of watching Super12 LOL. Helps a lot if you can
throw high end hardware at it.

GPaL had an installer problem. So did GTP. I smell a rat...

Work at home rights? A Company XP License does not a *free* copy of Windows
make, eh? You should ask was it worth it for the owner of said license that
will have to eventually pay for your usage?

I use MS licenses daily and its VERY easy for techs to forget that it will
be paid for by someone when that number is generated. Its become a major
issue, sadly.

Hey Deon, Super 12... AAAARRRRGGHH Worse than the cricket and that's
saying something. LOL.

Haven't finished NFSU2 yet, picked up GTR and Silent Hunter 3 from the shelf
Saturday and had to choose.... GTR or Silent Hunter 3.... GTR or Silent
Hunter 3.... GTR or Silent Hunter 3.... put GTR back. But soon, very soon.
