GPL dll files
i've recently brought a new computer, and was obviously lookbf forward to playing GPL n a high-spec machine. However, when I installed it it said that it couldnt find a dll file wininet i think it was called. Now the game doesn't load after the initial "logo" screen. Does anybody no what the problem could be? Is it just that my CD is faulty?
Thank you. |

I had that too when I installed the game on my new high-spec machine.
I can't remember how I fixed it, but it was quite easy. Let me have a trawl around and get back to you - unless someone beats me to it! |

This may be a better explanation I found on another site:-
****** is an internet-aware program and depends upon the existence of necessary operation system files. If you are missing this file (i.e. wininet), install a recent version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator, then ****** should work. The asterisks are in relation to another "internet-aware" game. Of course, GPL is an "internet-aware" game (I like the description!), so installing or re-installing IE or Netscape may solve the problem. Alternatively #1, you can download wininet.dll. Alternatively #2, any one of us can probably e-mail you the file, as it sits in the Windows System folder. Last edited by Aysedasi; 10 Nov 2002 at 11:57. |
