Hi folks,

    I downloaded the demo for CMR from the european website.  I used
autodetect for my graphics chipset and when I go to start the game after the
config screens it dumps me to the desktop.  ANyone  have a suggestion?

PII/450
Voodoo3/3000 AGP
256 RAM
SBLive! Value
Win98

Thanks,

~daxe

Same thing here with a very similar setup.  I also had problems with TOCA2.
Just deleted both of them and decided not to purchase.  Oh well, I guess
I'll wait for RC 2000 or GT2 for the playstation.

I think it is a problem with the resolution, it has to go below 640 X 480
which my machine does not even have a setting for. Try setting your desktop
to the lowest res you have then try it.

I have TOCA2 and it runs great on the same setup.  That's one of the reasons
I thought it was odd that a game from the same people would not run
correctly.

Huh.

CMR runs fine on my V3 3000. I remember there was some issue with the demo
esp. if you have TOCA2 installed as well - some sound file, I can't remeber
exactly. Ah yes, it was qmixer.dll. Best email Codemasters.
