Certainly sounds like a video driver issue to me. I'm not familiar with the V3 3000 you just installed, but if it's a new card and you used the drivers that came with it, then they're almost certainly outdated. Perhaps you can find and install the latest reference drivers for your card. They should be at www.3dfx.com if memory serves. Maybe that'll fix your problem. Good luck. Jerry Morelock

I had the same problem with a Voodoo2. I had found the solution changing the video.cfg all Voodoo2 modes to 0, except for 800x600=180. This is my current config with Voodoo3 3000 [Direct3D Primary] DeviceName="3dfx Voodoo3" AllowWindowed=0 WinOverride=0 TotalMem=16 AvailMem=0 Mode_320x240=0 Mode_400x300=0 Mode_512x384=161 Mode_640x400=0 Mode_640x480=163 Mode_800x600=164 Mode_1024x768=165 Hope this help. * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

I have the latest whql drivers from the "3dfx gamers" website. There's also a set of beta drivers, maybe I should try that out. Thanks Jerry. Frank On Sat, 3 Jun 2000 23:43:52 -0400, "chainbreaker" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks alemira, Mine says TotalMem=15??? I tried changing the lines in my video cfg file to yours but the game wouldn't boot at all... I'm beginning to feel very frustrated with that game! Frank On Sat, 03 Jun 2000 21:57:48 -0700, alemira <[email hidden]> wrote:

I'm using the beta drivers and F1 2000 is running fine with them. Have you somehow set the game to run in windowed mode? I had the same problem when I set the game to run in windowed mode and my desktop was set to a certain resolution (can't remember which). Look in the "Config.ini" and make sure the WindowedMode=0 and not 1. -- Nos

I've been able to run it fine with the beta drivers from 3DFX. Now everything's fine except one thing: I can't calibrate my ACT Labs Force RS wheel... It worked fine in the past, but now it's completely impossible to calibrate it. Whenever I chose one of the moves like "shift up" as an example, I can click on anything, move any pedal or steering, and it'll always end up as "B12", like one of the buttons was stuck... But I checked and double checked and all buttons work fine! Frustration level goes up a notch! Frank On Sun, 04 Jun 2000 21:39:28 GMT, [email hidden] (Nos) wrote:
