Any one know why it keeps on asking me to calibrate the video settings and
after i have done this , It never seems to save it.
as when i start again tomorrow the game will ask again to calibrate !

  also with the geforce2 mx400 my steering wheel seems to flick left then
let again every 20 seconds :(
  anyone know what to do to fix this please.

thanks

If you have a mx400 that doesn't have a tv-out thingy then install the
attached reg file.  It disables twinview in the driver (which should be done
by default for cards that don't have twinview hardware).  Reboot.

The problem SEEMS to be that with twinview enabled when you don't have
twinview hardware makes windows (win98se with me) think you have two
monitors.  This is not a problem with anything I have seen (not much) except
GP3.  GP3 SEEMS to assume that if you have two monitors you must have two
video cards.  Then, when calibrating it tries to save the settings for the
calibration in a file but as your video card and your ghost video card have
the excat same name doesn't know which card is which (a bit like if you had
twins and then gave them the same name) and doesn't put the correct values
in the correct places.  Something like that anyway.
