When I enter the Rally School section, Colin McRea starts to talk but is cut off after just a few words and the screen then jumps directly to the car, which 4 out of 5 times moves itself ie. goes into reverse, or will not allow me to change gears. Could my Microsoft Force Feed back wheel be causing the initial video to stop prematurely? Has anyone had the same problem? Apart from this the game works fine. I have downloaded the patch, but it makes no difference. I have a P2 450 with 256mb ram, 2xDiamond Monster 2 3dfx cards (12mb), MSFF wheel. Thanks PJ

I know this sounds obvious but have you calibrated the wheel properly using the "Game Controllers" item in Control Panel? -- Richard G.

Thanks for the suggestion - that was my first thought. Unfortunately, yes, the wheel has been calibrated but the problem still persists. I even tried a minimum install, instead of a full, in order for the video sessions to come straight off the CD but this still does not help.
