David,

I have exactly the same problem with my Cyrix P166+ machine.  Think I read
somewhere that this was a known problem with the demo.  Not sure if it's been
fixed in the final release though...

Sorry not to be of more help.  If anyone does have the answer to this question
I'd appreciate an answer as I want to play GPL too!
