HI

I had a black screen too. I changed my Monster card driver with

the "direct 3d 3dfx" driver found at the 3dfx page(3dfx.com),

and all worked well.I'll send you a copy of the driver by e-mail

                  Take care

                                                     Rick

I run it fine with a Pure 3D. Make sure you have the latest drivers for the
monster, a lot of people seem to be having the same problem with this demo.

I had a problem until I changed my Windows screensize to
640x480, then everything was fine.  Great graphics, good
sound.  It is a lot like the F1 sim done by them.

Now, see, in _my_ newsreader, the thread about this topic is right below
this one. I wonder how he has his reader setup that he could possibly miss
it? I mean it says black screen right in the subject...

Aha, but in mine where I have subjects listed in order of the time they were
sent to the group, that thread is miles down the line.(So far in fact i'd
given up on a reply to it fixing the problem).

I had the same problem; just go to http://www.3dfx.com and install their
3dfx reference drivers--it worked for me

cheers,

matt
