I've just recently gotten into the thrilling world of GPL. Two days ago I
entered the WINVroc to measure my skills against the big boys. Since I so
far only have been driving at Monza, thus that is the only races I can join.
But there are so few races at Monza.

So I chose to host a couple of races. Qualifying went OK, but at the
starting grid, my PC hangs hard. It has happened two out of three times.
Why?

Is it the OpenGL patch, the CL Geforce or my ISDN card that causes the
disaster? I'm currently using the Nvidia 3.62 reference drivers for my
Geforce.

Has anyone else experienced this, with or without a Geforce?

I've had lockup problems with my TNT2 (Diamond Viper). Lockup always occurred
when switching from the menu-screen to the 'in car'-screen.

Switching display drivers cured it for me. I'm currently using nVidia reference
drivers (don't know the version, and I cannot check it now).

However, if you only experience lockups when you're racing online, the ISDN
driver may cause the lockups.

Good luck,
Peter
