Hi,
Every time I get to the first menu I can't activate the buttons.
It worked now and then yesterday but now it's nothing happening.
The mouse moves around but that's it.

Cya,
Hans-Otto

I don't know about the Geforce, but F1RS works fine for me under DX7a.

That's wierd, I get the EXACT same behaviour.
The only way I can get the buttons to work is to ALT-ESC out and then back
to the app.
Then the buttons work fine.

Thanx for the info. I tried the original v.1.03 and the problem wasn't there
but the framrate was terrible. In version 1.07 and 1.09 I have to click and
wait for a minute or so to get in...strange stuff

I have GeForce (CLA) and DX7a. The game is fine but seems to suffer from a
slower frame rate than I got with a TNT, but maybe Im just trying to turn
too much on. I also have problems with the wav volume setting itself 1/2
when first starting the game so I have to alt-tab out and turn the sound
back up...otherwise the menus are fine.

Do you have a Geforce? For me I can't seem to get back to the desktop with
ALT-ESC. It's a shame as I really wanted to do some F1RS again. I like it
better that the MGPRS game.

I managed to get F1RS right with the menues on my other card, a CL TNT also
using Dx7a. But I think someting is wrong with the file called DXinput5.DLL
as they have changed it a bit after 1.03 which works ok with the menues on
my Geforce.
There are so many Directx packages and card drivers these days that if you
go back to a two year old game these days your almost guaranteed to get into
trouble. It's a shame...

FYI, F1RS will run like total shit unless you are using 3dfx and Glide.

Actually when it runs it runs like the wind. =)
It just takes too much hassle to get the damn thing to run...
I'll stick with GPL and SCGT I guess...

Hehe, the game is pretty ok with the Geforce and D3D and the framerate is
very acceptable I like it but the menuproblem is very annoying.

Thanx for the inputs.
