Yes! No kidding - within an hour or so on www.f1gamers.com, somebody started an "Uninstalling DX 8.1?" thread. LOL. On a different note, I just installed Windows XP. How do I get Windows 3.1 back? ;-) - John P.

Going back to Hercules driver v. 9.015 fixed it! I haven't testet MadOnion's nVidiaMark2000 and nVidiaMark2001.

LOL -- 1907 - Daytona Beach Florida Glenn H. Curtiss rode a V8 powered motorcycle to a 136.30 mph record in the measured mile. The Chicago Daily News headline reads: "Fastest Mile On Earth, Bullets Are The Only Rivals Of Glenn Curtiss"

Great. What exactly does it do for sim. racers? Previous versions have affected controllers, etc.--but why the announcement? Marc. "Nelson Rivera" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3bee0abf$[email hidden]...

If your garage is like mine, there's an old 256k AT carcass out there somewhere with a 30 meg HD with Windows 1.0 or 2.0 on it. I had to put in a Plus HardCard 105XL and a BocaRam 2.0 meg full-length ISA memory card when I went to Windows version 3.

Cool Dana..what kind of wheel you got there? Looks like a modified TSW or something.

Was there any indication of a problem before or is it now amazing? Marc. "Jone Tytlandsvik" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9sphfl$151ios$[email hidden]...

I don't think you can call my systems graphics performance amazing. The "worst case" framarate was down to 16 before and is 22 now. That is when I have all the other 7 cars just in front of me or visible in the mirror (and it's raining). I was down to 10 fps before I installed the latest Radeon driver, and THAT is a problem! But I think you can call the improvement from DX 8.0a amazing. Jone.
