CART: Can't get Full Screen Mode?

3 posts by 3 people · 14 Mar 1998 - 17 Mar 1998

Hi, I purchased CART the other day. I've tried to get it to run in full screen mode by pressing F4. But it won't work. I'm using the patched version 1.01. It will switch to full screen as long as I'm only using Software Rendering. But if I want hardware acceleration by using Direct 3D Rendering it will say "Unable to switch to full screen mode" I've tried installing various drivers for my vid card as well as re-installing the game countless times with that. I'm using DirctX5. My system is an AMD K-5 133mhz, 16MB of Ram, ATI 3D RageII video board, and 4x CD-Rom. Your help is greatly appreciated. Michael Muhammad

My first guess is that you only have 2mb of memory on your video card. CPR needs 4mb video mem to run hardware acceleration.

Thanx I didn't know that. I picked up CART Racing by Papyrus anyway for only $10. Man this game is pretty cool now that I can run it with all the graphics. My system specs are so modest compared to todays standards. I just can't keep up with technology...I don't have that kind of money being in school and all. Michael Muhammad
