Folks, Just a post to let you know about a coupla fixes for Colin McRae Rally that I haven't seen posted before: I have a Diamond Monster 3D 2, and ever since I bought the game the graphics were buggy...(it was like looking through a dense white fog)... so bad that I couldn't play the game at all. The official patch released by Codemasters made absolutely no difference at all. I was ready to return the game to the shop until I noticed that DirectX6.1 (yep 6.1 not 6) was available... so I installed it and presto the problems were instantly fixed..it runs great now...all the weird white fog has gone. If anyone is having trouble with the video in this game, I recommend you try DirectX6.1. Also, if you are having trouble with the menus responding like the buttons are stuck in treacle (ie: you press a key and wait 30 seconds for it to respond), then try turning off the music completely, in the audio settings. Cheers

It worked for me with the demo and M3D 2 drivers 207 also. I should get the full version in the mail on Tuesday from InteractCD. :-) Lutrell >Folks, > Just a post to let you know about a coupla fixes for Colin McRae Rally >that I haven't seen posted before: >I have a Diamond Monster 3D 2, and ever since I bought the game the graphics
