When playing GP3 I get a diagonal split dashboard (top left to bottom right) with the bottom diagonal completely black. It does occasionally go back to normal, but very rarely. Anyone know why it happens? PC Details : PIII 733 256Mb RAM Diamond Viper 770D 32Mb video card DirectX v.7.0 (4.07.00.0716) Diamond Drivers : 4.11.01.0231 James

Drivers Drivers Drivers!!!! Your using Version 2.31, get version 5.33 at www.reactorcritical.com or at least version 5.22 from Diamond or Nvidia James <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8m1uta$245$[email hidden]... > When playing GP3 I get a diagonal split dashboard (top left to bottomright)

Thanks for the help. This has definitely solved the problem. If anyone is using older drivers for their Diamond card and playing GP3 I can definitely recommend an update - my FPS seems to have dramatically improved and on automatic graphics I don't get object dropout which I did before - the trees at Hockenheim kept disappearing before, but they remain the whole time now. My laptimes have dropped too, 'spose its 'cos I don't get such jerky graphical updates. "Jason" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NT0h5.7855$[email hidden]...
