In case you haven't ready this: make sure you either run F1 2001 in a window (open config.ini and set WINDOWMODE to 1) (also set your desktop size to the same resolution as f1 2001 so you will get more or less full screen) or if you want to run it full-screen, make sure you run fraps (www.fraps.com) in the background. It's totally illogical, but running fraps in the background gives a much better fps. P3 866 GF2 here, f1 2001 runs perfect in 1024, with most details set on max. Andre

Thanks to the replies to a similar question a few days ago, I found loads of previous drivers and other helpful info at www.guru3d.com Hope this helps, Rick.

Strange thing is: i cant get windowed mode. When i change it in ini file it is automatically set to 0 when i want to run the game. DOK On Tue, 09 Oct 2001 10:58:50 GMT, [email hidden] (Andre Warringa) wrote:

It seems to be different for different people. For me, changing to 12.90 completely removed all problems and it runs very smoothly @ 1280 res. Fraps does nothing for me, but does for others. Strange isn't it?

For example, > I set my desktop to 800x600x16 You may want to consider downloading a small program I use called Launchmate which can be downloaded from http://tdrware.virtualave.net/LaunchMate/ It is a toolbar utility that includes an option to change screen resolution and colour depth when launching a program using it. You may find this useful when running F1 2001. Cheers Phil Lee Legends Central Admin http://www.legendscentral.com

The colour depth of your desktop has to match the depth you're trying to play the game in otherwise this will happen! >DOK Dave

I must use fraps or windowed mode while I'm using the 12.90 drivers to get the decent fps. Just to make sure, fraps makes a difference when you run full screen, so with windowmode on 0. btw, switching from 12.41 to 12.90 caused me another problem, when I choose properties on my desktop I don't get the Geforce tabs.. switching back to 12.41 brings them back again.. is it normal the 12.90 doesn't give a geforce settings tab?

Get the non-WHQL 12.90 drivers if you want the settings tabs. For some reason they are not in the WHQL version of the 12.90 drivers.

How about XP? 12.90 win2k drivers work under XP?

12.90 drivers work fine under XP. Iain "slammer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > How about XP? > > 12.90 win2k drivers work under XP?
