Just dug up this game after years of not playing it (IE was married!)
I've installed all the relevent patches, but what happens to my game
is that when I leave the pits the screen freezes - although the sound
continues??? Can anybody suggest anything to help please?
My system is
Duron 1ghz
256 Ram
GeForce2 32mb
It used to work in my old K6/2 - 500mhz with same graphics card.
cheers
Greg

Does it lock as soon as you start moving, or just after you leave pit road?

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

there is the tip-off. You have to configure your dos soundblaster
emulator to use either irq 5 or 7. Back in the good ol days, they only
coded for a small amount of changes, saved programming and debugging and
since 9/10ths of all soundcards installed to irq 5 or 7 that wasn't a
problem. Windows, however with plug and play, will mix and match irq's with
little regard to conflicts. Try messing with device manager to see if you
can re-assign the SB emulator to irq 5.
good luck

There is a better way, for the enlightened.

This suggestion is not as flippant as it sounds. GPL will run nicely on
that config, provided you don't go wild on add-ons (4-bit/"medium" versions
of tracks and JF carset should work though).
Not saying ICR2 is not an amazing piece of code, because it is, but things
have moved on and, if anything, GPL will stop you from repeating the
marriage mistake.
