I read there are some leaked 22.50 drivers out there and wondering if they
fixed the mirror problems in F12001 on the 21.83/21.85 drivers?

No not for me I think it's a problem with F12001 more than the drivers I'm
not having any problems with other games, untill the patch is out I think
it's best to stick with 7.xx drivers.

No, made no difference.  F1 2001 just doesn't like any 2x.xx drivers.  for
me the 12.90s work perfectly.

I've tried them and they have the same mirror problem as 21.85 in 16 bit
color - just shadows of cars are displayed, except for the car body of your
teammate's car.

However, the mirrors work for me with all the 21.XX drivers when running in
32 bit color  (1600x1200x32, PIII 1GHz, 512MB RAM, GF3, Win98SE, DirectX 8.1
beta, windowed mode OR using FRAPS 1.4, no HUD or overlays).  I haven't
noticed much of an FPS drop going from 1600x1200x16 to 1600x1200x32.

From the [COMPONENTS] section of my CONFIG.INI file:
...
CPURATING=4
SYSTEMRAM=512
VIDEORAM=65
OBJDETAIL=3
TEXDETAIL=2
VIDEOGUID=D7B71E3E-4140-11CF-3F7E-1A2001C2C935
VIDEODRIVER=0
VIDEOMODE=27
WINDOWEDMODE=1
PRIMARYONLY=0
FSAA=0
VSYNC=0

Is there any particular reason that F1 2001 will not allow my windowedmode
to be set to 1?  everytime I change it to 1, it changes it back to 0.

Ok, thx all. I just dloaded them anyway, but haven't tried them out. Don't
think I will either because I'm running XP and I have read of some people
getting the BDOD with them. I would use the12.90 drivers but none of them
say XP compatible, only some of  the 21.xx drivers are for XP. Are the 12.90
Win2K drivers compatible with XP?

Yes!  They are the ones that work best for me by a long way.

What works best with XP? The built in drivers seem pretty good but I
have no clue which they are.

The built in drivers are slow. I tried them with F12001 and it was pretty
bad for frame rate until I installed the 21.83 drivers. I have used the
12.90 drivers on for a lonmg time on Win98 and are the best drivers for F1
2001 and if  Ian says they are good on XP then I will use them too.
