 Do you have "auto-arrange" swtiched on for your desktop icons?

What am I doing wrong here....

I am running the demo for CPR, and it's working just fine... but when I exit
the game, my win 95 desktop is all screwed up (all icons that were on the
bottom are moved up, etc, like you'd expect if I changed the video driver to
640x480).  I have ICR2 for win95 and bunches of other games that run in
windows (including Monster Truck by MS) that do NOT***up my desktop.  Any
ideas?

I'm using a brand new STB Velocity 128, if that matters.

Yep, mine does the same......when you exit CART it throws the screen
display into 640 x 480......all my icons get shot to hell.  This is a
disgrace, considering this is an MS prog.
Is anybody awake at CPR/MS ?  I intend to dump the s/ware off my
h/drive....thats if the 'uninstall option works!  Nothing else seems to.

Update: I downloaded the most recent drivers for my card
from DiamondMM the other day, and ALL problems were
fixed. I can run CART PR (Demo) now without messing up
my desktop and my icons remain unaffected...

Hmm... one might almost think those CART Team guys
know what they're talking about... ;-)

Careful ... you nearly paid us a compliment!    ; )

Glad it cleared up your problem - video drivers are a nightmare for
game developers.

Well, I really *wanted* to, but I didn't want to be responsible
if you were to suffer heart problems, so I had to disguise it...
