Description You need this version to run Grand Prix World on Windows XP. "The original version of GPW and XP don't get along very well. Unfortunately the GPW team is no longer together but I've got the source code and have recently put together an unofficial version that seems to be stable with XP and Windows 2000. If you want it just click on the icon below. All the best Edward Grabowski"

Make sure the patch is in the Grand Prix World folder and then right click on the patch and extract all. Choose locate folder and you should see a gpwxp logo, right click on this and create a shortcut and place this on your desktop. Now put the gpwxp logo in your Grand Prix World folder as a back up.

Now when you want to run the game click only on the gpwxp logo in future and that will allow the game to run every time without freezing on the gold logo. If you try to load from the bootup sequence or any other gpw logo other than gpwxp you will again freeze on the gold logo.

I hope this helps and you manage to play the game.

hey guys, i installed the patch on my xp but still the game doesnt load up, the only thing that happens is the Formula one world championship logo in gold appears and then it freezes. And all i can do is restart the comp. I love this game and would appreciate it very much if someone could tell me how to fix this. Perhaps i installed the patch into the wrong place? where am i meant to save it?

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your fine work. In spite of being an older game I think the game is very challenging and fine. Perhaps it would be possible to make an update once a year, especialy regarding the carskins. What do you think??
