F1 2001 Problems getting it going

Hi there, It's just taken me all afternoon to get F1 2001 going. The problem was a it was running at about 1 fps but turn off all the sound and it ran Ok. (BTW P3 1G, SB Live, Gforce 2 Ultra, Win ME). The obvious choice was sound card drivers, No good DirectX ? put V8.1 on, No good Logitech Profiler back to version 4.00 (no end of probs with 4.1). No good Replace video drivers 21.83 back to 12.41, success. AFAIK the 21.83 drivers are certified release drivers, they are certainly faster than 12.41 but I can't get them to work. HTH Craig BTW what's the story with FF in this one? did F1 2000 CS have it?

Try editing the config.ini file and setting WindowedMode=1 Prob best to keep to th 12.41 drivers "Craig" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9q7g3t$jem$[email hidden]...

OK I'll leave 21.83 off then - thanks. FF is supposed to be coming out in an upcoming patch. Andi. "Craig" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9q7g3t$jem$[email hidden]...

Yes don't bother with those, I don't know if anybody else has used either version, I couldn't find 21.85 either. "Andi Cole" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9q7hde$ra6$[email hidden]...
