Racing Sims & win2000

Does anyone have any success stories playing any racing sims with Win2k? In particular N3, F12k, GPL. I have had limited success with these games, and I think my problem is with my V2 1000 card. Thanks

I have played both N3 and GPL briefly in Win2k without any problems at all, I had a V3-3500 at the time, I haven't had time to race too much lately, but I've run a little NHeat which seems to run just fine on my V5500 card > I have had limited success with these games, and I think my problem is with > my V2 1000 card. Haven't done any real testing I'm afraid, so I can't help out with any good suggestions, all I can say is that others seem to run at least GPL and N3 just fine, so you might be right about the vid card issue, I seem to remember that I ran GPL and N3 with the default drivers that came with Win2k if that helps any Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com

What do you base this statement on?

Thanks for the links, but like the last message on the ars technica forum said, why does mine work? My card is showing up as a sound, video and game controller device. I tested some of the little programs I wrote for glide 3.0, they worked OK, just no go with N3. Thanks for the help, I found some good links.
