Anyone installed MGPRS2 on XP. Mine start, but freeze on the first menu. The checkered flag (mouse pointer) moves but only once per every 5-10 seconds. What about F1RC on XP? Maybe I will get it instead. Thanks.

Wow...MGPR2 was a great game. Haven't played it in ages. You didn't say if you were trying to run glide or D3D. Voodoo cards are flakey at best in XP. If you got a nvidia card, did you try different drivers? I would pass on F1RC. F1RC2 supposed to be released in November I believe. F1RC had issues. F1 2001 from EA is supposed to be good, but I haven't played it. I'm passing on XP so I can't tell you for sure what works with what or even at all.
hi, f1rc runs fine on XP. although FF doesn't work too well on my wheel. excellent hotlapper. dodgy AI. worth getting if you can get it cheap. in its current state, its still my favourite f1 title as it seems to have *excellent* track renditions in terms of layout & graphics. The only problem with the tracks is that they are too smooth. Not enough bumps means that it can be too easy. that said, i think f1 2001 will be a better buy if it gets patched. the tracks *are* bumpy and rough as they should be, but the slopes and inclines don't seem to be be reflected in the same way as F1RC. I'm not sure which sim is correct, but my observation of F1 in car views on the TV broadcast leads me to think that F1RC does it better. Blind corners at Suzuka seem to be rendered more realistically in f1rc. Is there anyone else who can comment on this? I'm not 100% sure which sim is better in this regard.
