Hello all, Has anyone got the F197 demo on this month's PC Zone (UK) to work? Both the 3dfx and D3D versions just start briefly and then exit back to windows. (I have a Dell P2 300 with Matrox Millenium 2 and Diamond Monster 3D.) Annoying, as it's the only reason I bought the mag :-( Andy

Runs fine on my system, p150 48MB ram Righteous 3Dfx drivers are: Windows 95 version 4.0 3Dfx Hardware 1 Voodoo Graphics Board(s) 3Dfx Driver Versions glide2x.dll: 2.43 fxmemmap.vxd: 4.10.01.0014 dd3dfx.drv: 4.10.01.0014 dd3dfx16.dll: 4.10.01.0014 dd3dfx32.dll: 4.10.01.0014 I'm using the ref drivers verison: 1,0,0,1 - latest AFAIK officially 2.14?? BTW I also have installed the original version of F1 so this might be helping the process. Does it play the mpg/avi video clip, if not try getting the latest version of active movie. cheeRs icQ # 8067625
