This error occurs during the time when the track is loading and immediately
tosses me back to the desktop
Thank you in advance for your help.
OTOH I think maybe you just have way too powerful of a machine for such
an old game. I strongly recomend you remove one of the CPU's, half of
the RAM, and the GF2, and send them to me for safe keeping. I think the
game will run fine then. ;o)
I tried the official patch with the same results. I know this game is old,
in fact I have had it since it first came out. At that time GPL was still in
its hay day and being a good GPL "SNOB" as I was, SCGT got tossed in a
drawer never to be heard from again. Now I need a WSC "FIX" as it has gone
into that phase of maybe never getting done, so I thought I would change
the scenery a bit with SCGT. The cars look great, and it does represent my
favorite type of auto racing.

Anyway, I have some ideas for you to try. First, quite a few of us have
found that SCGT works fine at 800x600 but does not work on certain
tracks at 1024x768. The error message we get is different than the one
you are getting, but it might still be worth a try at that resolution.
Since the error message you are getting seems to relate to a D3D
allocation problem, also try setting your desktop to 16 bit color before
running SCGT, and you might even want to look in your display properties
and see if you can restrict D3D to using a 16 bit z buffer. Hopefully
one of those ideas will help.
Good luck,
Hal
