N4 Locks Up in OpenGL at the menu!

Hi, I can't believe I just bought a wheel for this unstable and buggy product (on my system)! What a dunce! It will not work with OpenGL on my system (no matter what the color or rez)! It will lock up in the menu. For instance, it just locked up while calibrating my wheel. It locked up in various parts of the menu before I had the wheel (in OpenGL). At least with D3D I can **sometimes** finish a race! Specs: Athlon 700 GeForce 2 GTS Pro (64Mb DDR) 256MB RAM Win98SE Direct X 8.0a NVidia 6.5 Drivers Thanks, -paul

What motherboard do you have? I just built my brother a system with a Tyan m/b and was having the same problem. What I did to fix it was to get in the BIOS and disable 4x AGP and now it works. Will_H#24 "pw" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:991efm$1lm$[email hidden]...

How did you disable 4X AGP, by the way? Is there a setting specifically for it? -pw

In the BIOS there is a setting for AGP 4x and the only choices I have are enabled or disabled using the page up page down key.
