Psygnosis won't respond to their help line(see below), and I haven't got
a response from ATI either. Does anyone have any ideas how to get F1 to
run on my system properly? I have an ati 3dxpression+pc2tv(rage II)
with four meg of ram, 64meg of sdram, an amd k6 200, an mtech r534 mobo,
and a thrustmaster game card, formula t1 wheel. The game doesn't
recognize any joysticks, and displays colors improperly.

I am trying to get support from Psygnosis, but they won't respond. Here
is copies of my correspondence. Do you have any clue why their game
would cause the display adapter to display incorrect colors? I have the
latest drivers for the 3dxpression+pc2tv, and reinstalled direct x 3,
the game, the drivers, etc twice. Also, using the latest drivers, can I
run GLQuake? Is there any special procedure? When will the ATI update
for Psygnosis F1 be released? I understand that it is available with
the new video cards. Will there be a special version that will work
w/my card? Steve

This was sent on July 10, and I was hoping for a response by now. Could
you please help me?
