Hi again!

I got a copy of Virtual GP 2 today, its a windows 98/xp era game. It looks great from what i have seen, however i cant get it to run on Windows 10,

i am hoping dxwnd might offer a way to getting it to work as currently it will not even start (though in the task manager it does show the Virtual gp2 32bit exe to be active)

I selected debugger mode in dxwnd and i got the message when starting "create process error=123, cannot find file dfltdflt" - not sure what this file is.

I installed it in oracle vm in a virtual xp os and it installed and runs but unfortunately through Oracle VM its performance is way too slow to be at all playable.

would anyone have suggestions as to what to do get it working?

thankyou

I am still hoping i can get some help in this because for others such as Virtualiceman, they have had success getting Virtual GP2 going in windows 10

it is running in the background processes but not visible at all - there must be a way to make this happen. my version i got from germany, appears to be all in italian once installed - at least all the folders are - would this be causing some kind of conflict?

there is a config file in the folders - can anyone make any sense of this?

well it has been determined now that the german version of VGP2 that i have just simply will not work on windows 10, the french/english version will though work and work well. wasted my money buying the german version when i should have gotten the french one ! verdammt!
