F1rs and AMD K6-2

I've just installed Firs on my computer. I have an AMD K62 with 64 megs pf ram, a Screamin' 3d rendition card and the mother won't run. I've done a full install and still have 42 megs on my hard drive, I press the starter button and she won't even turn over. Need help.

UBI SOFT recommend a 100MB of free disk space after the install. I don't think there's anything else wrong with your set-up. Was a full install something you tried after other difficulties? If you haven't previously tried the smaller installs, that would be the best place to find the other 58MB. Are you using the 1.09 version? Its a patch that may fix problems you find later! There's a good FAQ here:- http://www.ubisoft.com/f1us/faq/faqheader.html And a good players site here:- http://www.f1racingsim.com/

Thanks for your reply. I did another install and patched it with the 1.09. The game almost started. However, I got a message that goes something like this... There is no 3d present In : DirectDraw Enumerate Line : 57 The game said it was installing the directx drivers. What do you make of that ? My graphics card is a Screamin' 3d Rendition, by the way. Thanks Roy

That error message indicates a problem either with card incompatibility or drivers being outdated. Check to make sure you have the latest drivers. However, you should be aware that I generally tell people that the Rendition chipset won't work with the program although I do know that some people have no problems with it. >> We recommend the 1.09 patch as generally resolving the non-start issue that >> occurs with some AMD K6/K6-2s, it has solved the problem in 99% of the cases
