I read the last 10 days worth of posts any couldn't find a fix for this, so here goes: I have a 16MB nVidia Riva TNT card, and a PII 400, and I installed the OpenGL patch to try to improve the framerates so I could run VROC (They were in the low 30's while running alone, low 20's at the start in software mode.) When I started the game, (after installing the patch, changing to OpenGL mode in Graphics options, and restarting), I saw a black screen with the version number in the bottom right corner. Then the menu text comes up (View drivers, view teams, best laps, options, etc.) and there is just a black background. When I move from one menu to the next, the old text stays there, so soon my screen is a jumble of overlapped letters on a black background. The green and red buttons in the corners don't seem to work (I had to guess their location from experience.) Is there any solution to this?? I un-installed the patch, and the game works again, but I desparately want to run VROC. Thanks in advance for any help Justin
