F12001:after racing clicking back icon>desktop !!!

Every time I click on the "back"-icon on after having raced, the little trangle left of the menu, F12001 sends me home to the desktop. It's original software from EA, and it does not happen when I install the game at work. At work I have a dell dimension 4100, P3 800, with an old geforce 256 graphics, 128 mb Sdram card and Win 98 SE. At home i have a win 98 SE again, with a LWFF on a abit bx board with an overclocked celeron at 850. A vid vard powercolor mx with support of two monitors, 384MB sdram. Anyone to help ? lock

I have the self same problem and have tried everything to fix it re-install game patch Vid Drivers Sound drivers you name it. In the end I've given up and just put up with it..... Hope someone can help us both. Regards Mike On Wed, 16 Jan 2002 15:33:59 +0100, "lock" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Yes, I did. It does not matter at all. I deinstalled DX-8, reinstalled the version with the EA F12001 CD. Than I deinstalled everything of Nvidia on my disk. Reinstalled the official 21.85 version Powercolor is offering on their site. Nothing. Installing the nvteak utils, e.g. to set v-sync to none, no help. Someone in an other forum mentioned the option of F12001 not liking CPU's being overclocked. Personally, I think that's bull shit but in this case, you never know..I've got one overclocked allright, but Mike and Jean-Yves, did you too overclock the CPU ? lock "AlvinKlein" <[email hidden]> schreef in bericht news:[email hidden]...

I had exactly the same problem and NOTHING I tried fixed the problem. I tried different detonator drivers, reinstalling DX8, you name it.. Finally I found the solution: C:\deltree windows and reinstall windows.. worked for me.. Andre

Not overclocked at all Vanilla 1.4ghz Regards Mike On Thu, 17 Jan 2002 10:40:15 +0100, "lock" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Slik. Dit klinkt niet goed... (dutch language). Andr�, in that case, is it a sensible thing to install XP and not win 98 SE ? Or did you stick to the old boy ? lock "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> schreef in bericht news:[email hidden]... > On Thu, 17 Jan 2002 10:40:15 +0100, "lock" <[email hidden]> > wrote: > > >Yes, I did.

Afaik most of those problems have been solved now so I think I'll install XP soon. Since the reinstall of 98SE my computer hangs more than it used to do before the reinstall.. and it was a complete fresh reinstall :-/ But serious, F1 2001 was the only game that ever forced me into reinstalling windows to get rid of the problem. It used to work and then suddenly, without changing or installing anything at all, it didn't work anymore. Reinstalled windows, reinstalled F1 2001 and all is ok now. Except for my weird stuttering problems posted in a new thread.. Andre

BTW, EA has responded to my mail. I have to provide them with my Dx-data to help them find a solution. I'll do that next monday. As soon as I get a result from EA I will post it in the group. lock

Cheers Lock, btw good game isn't it ! Regards Mike On Fri, 18 Jan 2002 15:08:26 +0100, "lock" <[email hidden]> wrote:
