Not an issue but I will test it to see for myself, I run most games at 16bit
anyway. And my frame rate is very good in SBK 2001, running at 1280x1024
with most eye candy on and it's running faster on my R8500 under XP compared
to how it ran on my GF2 under Win98. What video card are you using?
I have a basic geforce2 which is perfect for GPL, N4 and sturmovik (and F1RC
but it's less demanding cause it's better programmed)

I got it to work by changing the compatability mode to "Windows 98" and it
worked like a charm. Great FPS.. no draw backs at all.
(PIII 866, GF2 MX200 64meg and WinXP)

Yea, so what? Is that such a big deal to you? Many games have to have the
desktop set to 16bit or else you will incur a performance hit. Takes me all
of two seconds to switch from 32bit to 16bit.
SBK 2001 is one of the most efficient and best looking graphics engines for
racing sims around. Maybe THE best of them all. I don't know what your
problem is on your machine, but it's running great for me under XP.
Hm, I din't even have to do that. What problem did you see with it not in
compatibility mode?
