Today I finally got GP4 and I was very curious if all the critisism was justified. I installed the game and started it; the intro sequence starts, no problems here. But when it gets to the menu, the screen goes black. I can see and use the mouse pointer. I can actually click on some option I am pointing at. But apart from the mouse pointer I can't see a thing!Music seems to be playing correctly. Does anyone know a cure for this problem? This is my system: P3 1ghz Creative Geforce 2 Ti 64mb 256mb RAM Direct x 8.1 WinME Sidewinder FF Wheel I have downloaded the latest drivers from the nvidia site. Masa

Right click on the windows background and select properties, then settings, then the advanced tab, then the geforce menu and finally the additional properties. Make sure that the box is checked which says - allow applications to control antialiasing mode. > I hope this helps you as it is bloody frustrating having a game and not playing it. Ken

sigh.... Ken, I really appreciate your help but... it didn't work. I've tried numerous things driverwise, but nothing seems to cure the problem. I gues I'll have to contact the Infogrames helpdesk, but I'm afraid that all they will tell me is to install the latest drivers.
