SCGT Reinstall

I was hoping for some advice here- I have been having problems running SCGT
using Direct 3D as the software driver. Backgrounds disappear, detail on
cars goes away, etc. I was thinking about uninstalling/reinstalling the game
as perhaps a way to fix it. Problem is, I have worked my way up to World GT
using the software as a jittery, low-res driver. Is there any way I can save
these settings, or will I have to go back to GTQ? If the latter is the case,
I'll leave it the way it is. Thanks in advance!

Simply copy the directory called SAVE from the SCGT install directory to
somewhere safe, then copy it back after the install.

As a general tactic for discovering this info in any sim or game,  Don't
play it for a little while (like 30 minutes).  Then start the software and
run a race and SAVE your progress.  In SCGT you could just create a new
player and run a  race.  Then, go to the FIND thing on the start menu and
find all the files created/accessed in the last day.  Click the column
header 'modified' to sort them by time, and look at the most recent entries
in the game's folder/subfolders.  This should tell you which files contain
the save games.
