I have a Dell XPS Pro 200n with a Matrox 4MB and a Monster 3d card. I run other DX5 games with absolutely no problems, but I am having a problem with MS CPR. If I select "Hardware Acceleration" in the Graphics menu, it shows up, but upon entering the track it is obviously not accelerated and sure enough, the option has been unselected when I go back to the menu. Does anyone know why this is happening and what the fix is? Also my GP1 seems to be way too sensitive in the game. Thanks in advance, Rob "Dead Meat"

Even though you say you run other DX5 games, about the only thing I can think of is that your 3dfx card is not setup properly. Did you allow DirectX 5 to overwrite all of your video drivers? I found that things work much better once I did that. Also, did you get the latest drivers (including Glide) from www.3dfx.com ? I have also found the reference drivers to be much better than the diamond ones. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >I have a Dell XPS Pro 200n with a Matrox 4MB and a Monster 3d card.

Check out The APEX at http://cart.gamestats.com for information on how to tweak CART PR. Most people run too much steering lock which makes the car very twitchy. Try moving the non-linear slider all the way to the left and play with the speed sensitive steering. Also run very small amounts of steering wheel lock. Most tracks I'm able to run a lock anywhere from 5 to 7. Thanks John

Thanks for the tips John, I tried the demo and with my wheel, even doing the slider stuff, it seemed undrivable. I'll wait til the patched demo is released and then give it another look....dave henrie
