Grand Prix Manager 2
Haven't played it for years, but I think it could be a good Idea to set up a leage on TT for this as it (I think) supports online play..

I'd take a guess and say that this so called 'abandon-ware' is legal for download, but don't quote me on that...

I have been play Grand Prix Manager the first one too with no problems, love this game as it has no 10 year limit. I played about 25 seasons, won about 13 consturctors championships on the trot then started to fall down the feild due to lack of devlopment, in the end I was lucky if my cars finish 8 laps behind the leaders, but in my last two years before I retired I paid a 48 year old (or around that age) Rubens Barrichello a win bouns of 2,000,000 per race and hey! We won the drivers championship 2 years on the trot. I then called it a day and retired manily due to Rubens retiring and bankrupting me in the process. |

I think that this problem is because GPM2 is screwed up in the registry. I can't uninstall it because the uninstaller doesn't work, and I can't find it through regedit.. what to do? hmmm |

Can't you just delete the game of C: delete its directory and then reinstall it? I guess that should overwrite all the settings when you re-install it.

How To Let GPM2 work in XP:
- Make a shortcut of the GPM2.exe file - Right click on the shortcut,click on Properties. - Click on Compacbility - Change the compacbility to '256 Colours' - Start the game with the shortcut |

Yup, I've done that in the past with this PC, but unfortunatly it doesn't work any more. It's probably something to do with graphics drivers come to think of it. |

Ditch it and go for Grand Prix World. It may be from yesteryear, well 1999 onwards, but it hurts the brain and catches you out during races. Dont EVER go to the loo and leave it running; I guarantee 2 retired cars.

When I start GPW (legal version),it starts the game,until you see a logo,and then it crashes to desktop.
Tried already a lot,but nothing works :/ |

Yeah true, but then again what opposition has it got?
F1 Manager - some 1/2 hearted F1 management game by EA Spots or GPM/GPM2 - both getting on towards being ten years old... |
