Viper racing stutters:

I've tried everything from end tasking on all open programs to tweaking my video card and defragging my hard drive to keep Viper racing from stuttering while playing. I was wondering if anybody out there has a fix for this? I'm running a Dell 266D (upgraded to Celeron 733) and am using a Radeon 32mb SDR PCI vid. card. I've got 224mb of ram so I should have plenty of oomph to run this game. I have in stalled the 1.1 patch and still no help. Thanks in advance. hacker3 (golf hacker, not a computer hacker) :o)))

Never mind, it was my joystick. I downloaded and installed new ctrl software/drivers for my Sidewinder Precision Pro and everything works fine. What a fiasco! Tech support couldn't even nail this one down. I was on the phone with them 5 times and even asked if my joystick could be the culprit. Just goes to show, don't ever count anything out. hacker3
