Ok! so I guess you are all sick and tired of my gremlins and general ineptitude and for that I apologise, but i really enjoy these older cars in PnG and wish I could get the dammed thing to work.
As I have not been using PnG for long and cannot really claim to have got to grips with it I decided that the easiest way to sort my probs would be to do a clean install.
So, I wiped PnG...... I also re-downloaded GTR2 , because I have not used that much either and I figured that maybe some of my problems stemmed from there.
I went back to STEAM and there is a way of verifying that my GTR2 files were correct or corrupt. Got that sorted and immediately took a "clean" copy of that and placed it on my remote backup drive....just in case!.
I then re downloaded Png V3.0 ( +3.001, 3.002 and 3.003) and PnG update 3.1 and got them lined up, ready to make my new GTR2 file a dedicated PnG operation.
However what I thought would be a simple operation constantly trips up during the install. When I originally stuffed PnG onto my PC I used a step by step idiots guide that Tony pointed me at, but I cannot find that particular post now...anyone got the info please?
