Any one know why it keeps on asking me to calibrate the video settings and after i have done this , It never seems to save it. as when i start again tomorrow the game will ask again to calibrate ! also with the geforce2 mx400 my steering wheel seems to flick left then let again every 20 seconds :( anyone know what to do to fix this please. thanks

If you have a mx400 that doesn't have a tv-out thingy then install the attached reg file. It disables twinview in the driver (which should be done by default for cards that don't have twinview hardware). Reboot. The problem SEEMS to be that with twinview enabled when you don't have twinview hardware makes windows (win98se with me) think you have two monitors. This is not a problem with anything I have seen (not much) except GP3. GP3 SEEMS to assume that if you have two monitors you must have two video cards. Then, when calibrating it tries to save the settings for the calibration in a file but as your video card and your ghost video card have the excat same name doesn't know which card is which (a bit like if you had twins and then gave them the same name) and doesn't put the correct values in the correct places. Something like that anyway.
