Upgrading to the 3.77 drivers fixes the problem, however....the frame rate in all 3D games (for me) is noticeably slower when using the newer Nvidia drivers. I have 32 games which run flawlessly with the 2.08 drivers, yet in order to get F1 2000 to run properly, I have to install newer drivers and, in a sense, ruin most of my other games. Is anyone else with a TNT (or TNT2) able to run F1 2000 properly with the 2.08 drivers?

I use a TNT2U and I dont have that prob.... I`m using Nvidia 3.53 drivers (3.53 work great for all my games, tho I dont have 32 games ;) I have a small prob with the way the dust looks when you go through a sand trap (you can even notice it from tire smoke when you lock your front brakes for a long time). The prob is that when you look near the steering wheel when all the dust or smoke is in the air you notice an outline... it`s VERY hard to describe..but it looks like shit..... let me know if you notice it..... and good luck with your invisible tire prob. I`m starting to like this sim...... All the best, Lorne Intimidator <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
