GPL: In Resolution 1024x... Replay Control Panel Doesn't work.
Is it a setting required to be changed? Works fine up to 800x...
Really bugging me (well... not just me but my 5yo son as well).
Thanks
Tony

A limitation of the Voodoo2 pass through architecture is that the
clickable mouse area in an app will be limited by the underlying
Windows desktop resolution (this is easy enough to verify if you
happen to have a second monitor which you could hook up directly to
the Voodoo2).  The solution is to increase your desktop resolution to
be equal to or greater than the resolution used in the game.

You might want to try the latest reference drivers from 3Dfx.  Seemed to
clear up this problem for me.

5 year old? - that's nothing:-) My 3 year old son likes to "play" GPL.
Admittedly concepts such as following the track all the way around are a
bit difficult to get across given the attraction of driving into walls,
deciding to go back to where we just were etc.

Integrist? Sometimes, the only way I can have a "drive" is to take turns
with him. He can now (after 18 mths) get to the first corner at most
attempts. That's usually where it stops, although there have been some
pretty impressive displays of throttle/steering control. Favourite activity
is putting arm up after inevitable accident and counting lost wheels in
numerous replays.
Thanks to Eric and Erik for the help.
