Still cant run GTR demo

Anyone got any ideas on this one. Installed the GTR demo a while ago and ran it without any problem. But now for some reason it wont load, i can go all the way through the menus and then it starts loading but just when i expect to be on the circuit it gcrashes back to desk top. I know ive changed video drivers since i originally installed but since the problem ive tried various with no luck, ive also uninstalled and reinstalled the demo. Anyone got any idea why this is. I have an athlon 2.4 with a radeon 9000 card. Any help greatly appreciated thanks in advance Kev B

Is your DirectX working properly? Try looking at DxDiag and see if your directx stuff is working. dh

have you tried using a driver cleaner to remove all versions of drivers. check out http://www.omegadrivers.net/ for some good stuff if you are not already familier with it. Then use a older version of driver to start with. I have radeon 9200 on XP system and ran into problems with the newest drivers. Cleaned registry and such using program mention earlier. reinstlled older driver and all was well. Hope it helps "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ive tried changing drivers etc again but still no joy, anyone else got any ideas

Ive just tried with the settings for the demo set to low and it now goes past the menu screens and put me on the circuit, only problem now is the car comes out all psycadelich and multi coloured. if i turn any other graphics back on it wont go past menu. all that happens is the red line goes along bottom of the screen but doesnt reach race it just drops back to desk top near the end "Kevin Barnes" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:RmfFc.176$[email hidden]... > Anyone got any ideas on this one.

In GPL under options what graphics settings are you using. Fir my radeon 9200 I use a add on Direct 3d7 driver option. Let me know and i can send you a copy of it. Any other games causing problems? Did you run the driver uninstaller I sent you (or at least tried to)?
