		O.k. here's my problem. I've just upgraded (if that's the
word that applies here) to MS-DOS 6.0. When I try to run Formula 1
Grand Prix (its got a different name in USA) the title screen comes up
 and then an error message appears which reads 'bad or missing f1gpdatb.dat
file'. Well the files there and even after re-installing the game I still get
the same error. Anyone out there have the same problem. If so
 how did you fix it. (P.s I'm running the modem update version)

		Thanks in advance

		Dave

it's not a problem with dos6, three computers here will say.
Are you running doublespace?  Is one of your masters bad?

Hi Dave,
	I installed the international version of F1GP, with no problems! And 
afterwards installed DOS6 with no problems.  I suggest you run chkdsk on the
drive with F1GP.  If no errors are found, then check the installation disks.
If this does not work and I presume you are not using doublespace, then check
that you have enough memory!  From here I have not got the faintest idea to go!

I hope this helps,
