When I exit Precision cart racing, it rearranges the icons on my
desktop.
Anyone else have this problem?

Any program that alters the screen resolution will do that...unless you have
decent video card drivers that anticipate this sort of problem and
"remember" where to put your icons back when you return to your "regular"
desktop. Check your video card drivers and accessories/options.

This happened constantly when I was running CPR, and I've never seen it on
any other game. I have a Matrox Mystique and a Pure3d. It's just one of
the reasons why I stopped playing it. Lack of track visibility, horrid AI,
and poor controller handling are the other major reasons. Get F1RS. You
won't be sorry.

I run my desktop at 1024x768, and CPR is the only program that did
that. GLQuake, Flying Corps, SODA, Heavy Gear, Mercenaries, and
probably 15 other Win95 native games didn't do it.
That's a game problem, not a video card driver, in my opinion.

Maybe so, but some video card drivers are better than others at
handling this type of thing...
I had the icon-rearranging problems with my Diamond Viper 330
and CART, but I downloaded the latest drivers and the problem
was solved. (Actually, Diamond has released another updated
driver since the one that fixed that problem... and they will be
releasing yet another update when Riva/nVidia release the
OpenGL drivers... Diamond has pretty good support if you ask
me...)

I have exactly the same video cards as you--why don't I have a problem??

What resolution do you run your desktop in? I run mine at 1024x768, 16 bit
color. Try that and see if you get any icon carnage. It didn't happen
every time that exited, but fairly frequently.

Not since I deleted CPR :)

Exactly the res. and colour depth that I use too...it is your Mystique
drivers that will be causing any problems, so check them...
