TOCA2 & F1RS

I bought and 'full' installed TOCA2 at the weekend - and I am absolutely delighted with it. But now I can no longer play F1RS - in Explorer it just tells me that I have an audio CD in the drive, with 17 music tracks. I had previously patched to Voodoo 1.09 or whatever the latest one is. I cant try reinstalling because it says its a music CD! I can double click the f1rsvoo application in explorer to manually kick it off, and I get the spinning 3dfx, then the intro Ubisoft video, then black screen and no activity. Help. I doubt it is driver related as all was well before TOCA2. I already had DX6.1 so TOCA2 did not install any of that. I'm sure its something simple, but all help gratefully accepted! TIA RICK

In my case, open your CD and close it. Then explorer re-recognize it as F1RS. I don't know why, but solution is very simple. :-)

Yeah, fairly sure thats one of the first things I tried, and anyway, I am certain F1RS normally autoruns, so I get the start menu up automatically. All other CD's (eg TOCA, TOCA2) still autorun as normal....Any other ideas? Thanks again....
