When I hit F2 to view replays in GPL, I no longer get any text on the screen. In other words, where it would normally have an arrow pointing left followed by "Pit Lane" or "Gearbox" and an arrow pointed right, I just have the two arrows. Ditto for where it shows the drivers name to the left of the VCR controls and for all the info that would normally be at the top of the screen. The odd thing is that when i access the replays via the splash screen (where you have the green flag in the bottom right & the red flag in the bottom left - I don't know a better name for that screen), all the info is there. Does anyone else have this problem? I just noticed this recently - it had always been fine before & I haven't changed my video drivers, DirectX settings, GPL.ini files, etc., etc. Any ideas & suggestions would be most appreciated. TIA. Mark
Have you got different resolutions selected in GPL & in Windows as I know that sometimes screws up text.

Yep, 800x600 in both cases. It's just so odd, cause I really haven't changed anything in GPL except adding a couple tracks (which shouldn't do anything to the replays, i presume). Is there a specific file that controls replays that i could reinstall, or is this going to require a complete GPL reinstall? Of course, I'm looking for the easy fix...

I use the 28.32's on the same card, in the car everything is great, but when I exit, I'll often see the first screen flash. Changing to the garage and then coming back usually fixes that. dave henrie
Yeah, I have the screen flash too (yes, I have loaded teh GPLEA cars), but I didn't bother posting about that since it's easily fixed with a jump out to the previous screen. I guess it must be related to the cars, as I switched to the Lotus and don't have the replay (or flashing screen) problems with it. It's only reproducable in the Eagle and Honda - but since my 'car of choice' is the Eagle, it's a little frustrating. I guess I'll fire an e-mail to the great folks at the GPLEA and see if this is something that can maybe looked at in future releases. I'd be really disappointed if their upcoming Ferrari causes the same problem (otoh, I'd still use the car as the preview video they released looks spectacular).
