I have installed CMR on my p2 400, voodoo2 12mb and 128 mb ram. I have the glide 2.51 installed and DX6 During the menus the game runs slow i.e. it takes about 5 minutes for the clock to count up to 60 mins in the car setup sceen before the rally??? During the rally everything is fine. Any ideas -- Nigel Swan

I have a similar problem in Rally school - the white board writes it's characters at the rate of about 1 character every 2/3 seconds - takes ages to finish... Ben
Have you got the Matrox Millenium 2 as your 2d card? If so you need to downgrade to the initial drivers you got for that card. I had this problem of slow menus and using the old drivers fixed it. If you have a different 2d card there may be a similar issue. This was actually explained in the readme file for Colin McRae so that may help.

I actually have the millenium 1, but I haven't read the readme file ;) so I will check that out tonight... Cheers, Ben
I have a different kind of problem in Rally School. When I've finsished the first lesson and my car is parked and the voice says we will now take a look how well I did, the game just stops there. All I can do then is to press a button of my choice on the keyboard. After that, the game terminates automaticly and drops me in Win98. I'm using a PII-300, 64 MB, Matrox Mystique 220, Orchid Righteous 3D (Voodoo 1) and Directx 6. All the latest drivers for my HW. Anyone else experienced this problem? I've checked the readme-file, but to no avail. Anyone? -- If you want to reply to me in person, please replace nospam with Swipnet in my address. Best regards, Richard

I am not gonna take credit for this - some guy mentioned in one of the newsgroups that dropping the codemasters folder from the install eg: install to colin macrae rally and NOT codemasters\colin mcrae rally - it worked for me. You must do this in the start/programs menu too so just delete the codemasters part when the setup gives you the option. And to someguy - cheers for the tip :) -- Nigel Swan
Change your Mystique drivers back to the original ones that came in the box. The 411 version on the CD is the problem. Ian >I have a different kind of problem in Rally School.
