Certainly sounds like a video driver issue to me.  I'm not familiar with the
V3 3000 you just installed, but if it's a new card and you used the drivers
that came with it, then they're almost certainly outdated.  Perhaps you can
find and install the latest reference drivers for your card.  They should be
at www.3dfx.com if memory serves.  Maybe that'll fix your problem.  Good
luck.

I had the same problem with a Voodoo2.
I had found the solution changing the video.cfg all Voodoo2
modes to 0, except for 800x600=180.
This is my current config with Voodoo3 3000
[Direct3D Primary]
DeviceName="3dfx Voodoo3"
AllowWindowed=0
WinOverride=0
TotalMem=16
AvailMem=0
Mode_320x240=0
Mode_400x300=0
Mode_512x384=161
Mode_640x400=0
Mode_640x480=163
Mode_800x600=164
Mode_1024x768=165

Hope this help.

I have the latest whql drivers from the "3dfx gamers" website.
There's also a set of beta drivers, maybe I should try that out.

Thanks Jerry.

Thanks alemira,

Mine says TotalMem=15???  I tried changing the lines in my video cfg
file to yours but the game wouldn't boot at all...  I'm beginning to
feel very frustrated with that game!

("Francois Dubuc") thus spoke:

I'm using the beta drivers and F1 2000 is running fine with them. Have
you somehow set the game to run in windowed mode? I had the same
problem when I set the game to run in windowed mode and my desktop was
set to a certain resolution (can't remember which). Look in the
"Config.ini" and make sure the WindowedMode=0 and not 1.

I've been able to run it fine with the beta drivers from 3DFX.  Now
everything's fine except one thing:  I can't calibrate my ACT Labs
Force RS wheel...  It worked fine in the past, but now it's completely
impossible to calibrate it.  Whenever I chose one of the moves like
"shift up" as an example, I can click on anything, move any pedal or
steering, and it'll always end up as "B12", like one of the buttons
was stuck...  But I checked and double checked and all buttons work
fine!

Frustration level goes up a notch!
