I downloaded and installed CART PR on 2 different PCs yesterday and it played great on both of them. One is a P120 and the other a P166, both have Monster 3D cards. Today, neither PC would display any accelerated 3D graphics. For example, in CART PR after I click the 'Race' button the monitor light turns amber (as if it's not getting a signal) and the screen goes blank. All my other 3D games and demos are affected as well. Initially, I got graphics on both PCs working again by removing the Monster3D from device manager and letting Windows auto-detect it. Then, I made the mistake of playing CART again (thinking I could fix the problem if it recurred) and now (after turning it off and rebooting) I can't get the Monster 3D to work again in the P120 -with any game. I've tried removing the Monster3D in Device Manager, reinstalling the drivers, and reinstalling Directx5. I guess the next step is removing the card, and reinstalling again... Is anyone else having a similar problem with CART PR / Monster 3D combo? I would suspect that it's a personal problem, except that it happened to both of my PCs. Thanks - Marla

Nope I didn't have that problem. I just thought the game sucked. Try getting the drivers from www.3dfx.com. I may try CPR again tonight. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
