Is this possible? I can get 1024 X 768 with 36 fps, looks fine except
that when I get out of the car, half the screen is black (it's as if the
whole screen was lowered down... I only get to see the top part of the
screen in the bottom half of the monitor).

The game crashes invariably sooner or later in D3D and software mode
pretty much sucks.

I have all the patches intalled.

Here's my pc:
P3 866 mHz
256 meg of ram (133)
Sound Blaster Live
Asus V7700 64 meg GeForce II with nVidia reference drivers (12.41?)
Direct X 8.0a
mobo with VIA Apollo chipset.

Thanks in advance!

The half screen problem is a bug with the openGL drivers using anything
higher than 640x480. Try the 6.18 drivers.. never had a problem with
those... actually, they are the only ones that work on my system with d3d
(which is quite slower than yours).

Anyone had similar experiences?
