F1200 - Problems with graphics

When I play F12000 I get problems with the graphics. When I first played it I got some strange flickering after I'd exited an in-car (such as testing or race), gone back to the menu and then returned the car. But the most annoying thing is that the menu thats supposed to appear when you press Escape to allow you to exit the race, testing, etc. just appears a blank grey see-through box. Luckily, I figured out from the manual whats supposed to be in this box, but its really annoying. I have an Intel PIII 733 with 256Mb RAM and a Diamond Viper V770D. Anyone else encountered these problems? Is there an EASports patch available to fix it or has anyone got any solution?

I had these exact problems on my secondary machine. When I checked, I found out that the machine was one version behind in the Nvidia detonator drivers. When I upgraded these, everything worked fine... --- Loke

Sounds like a video card driver issue to me. Got the latest? Iain James <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8c8dna$374$[email hidden]... > When I play F12000 I get problems with the graphics.

yes I get the same flickering at 1024 x 748 or something like that.... seems to be a software bug but things are ok at 800 x 600 Iain Mackenzie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9WWF4.4006$[email hidden]... > Sounds like a video card driver issue to me.
