I don't know what happened. I installed the GPL demo and everything was working perfect. I was able to switch in the OPTIONS screen the RESOLUTION all the way to 1024 x 768 with my V2200 card. No problems. Now the maximum resolution option is 800 x 600. Anyone know what happened? I did a full un-install and re-install but no changes. Andrew

I have Voodoo2 and have NEVER seen option for higher than 800X600! What gives? Also, I'm not sure the resolution on my machine ever changes because It says the changes will take effect the next time the game is started but for some unknown reason (rendition card conflict?) the game goes to a black screen and locks up EVERY time I shut it down. Thus I am only able to run using my Rendition V1000 card. Any hints? Chris

You need the reference drivers from 3dfx probably. Also, have you noticed the resolutions have a scrollbar?
Chris needs to get the Gold drivers for Voodoo2. Fixes these problems immediately. > > I have Voodoo2 and have NEVER seen option for higher than 800X600! What gives? -- Regards, Bruce. ---------- The GP Legends Historic Motor Racing Club is located at:- http://www.netspeed.com.au/brucek/legends/
