OK, thx. I guess it doesn't really matter because I see most of the
add-on dash's are only in 640x480 and 800x600. One last question sort
of related to SCGT. I thought I would try some of the add-ons with the
demo to see if they would work until I get the full game, only the
add-on dash's work so far. I tried this file named
FerrariF399-SchumacherSCGT(Version2_0).exe. Has it's own
installer/uninstaller. It didn't work so I ran the uninstaller, it ran
some commands and the last one was something about rebooting.
I did reboot my computer at some point during the evening and saw that
it was changing system something or other. When I got into windows I
had no mouse and generic vid drivers loaded! Had to restore my
registry from a previous version to fix it. I had tried a few files
for SCGT that evening, but this is the only one that had an
uninstaller and that's why I supect it was the culprit. I do run a
virus check on all files I download and it was clean. Just wondering
if you or anyone else that plays SCGT have run into a similar problem
with this or any other file for SCGT?

I didn't do any backing up. :-)
Win98 backs up the registry for you daily. You just type scanreg in
dos and choose which reg backup you want to restore. I picked up a
copy of SCGT cdrom calssic edition today for $16.00 CDN so I have the
full version now. Already added a few cars, dash's and better sounds.
Think I'll stay away from that schumacher file though. :-)

Well I tried a few files so can't be sure it was that one. But, I
think that's the only one I installed that had an
installer/uninstaller. Don't really need an F1 car in a GT sim anyway.

I've had no problem installing and uninstalling the F1 cars. I did have a
problem with the cars becoming transparent, though. This is most likely due
to the cheap video card I have in my PC (nVidea Riva 128).

OK, I'll try it again and cross my fingers. I used to have a Riva 128.
Graphics problems are commen with that card. It has a limited set of
3D features that it supports. I would buy a V3 2000 (about $85.00
U.S.) if you are looking for a cheap and good upgrade.
