I'm sure this may have been covered before but its making me weary wandering from site to site looking for an answer. I have had gpl running fine with V1 and V2's sli'd but my V3 even with the 1.2 gpl patch is much too dark to race with so i have to turn the gamma settings right up to 3+ to be able to race comfortably. Now when i use another game the Gamma is much too high and i really dont want to have to alter it between games. I have DX7 (was the same with 6.1 and 6) and am using the latest V3 drivers. It seems to me its a problem with GPL as the brightness seems fone for all other games. I have rast3dfx.dll (as in v1.2 patch) in my GPL dir which fixed the bad grafics blocks. Anyone managed to fix this problem? MikeT. --

Oh dont you just hate it when this happens....10 mins after i posted the question, I found my answer! In windows/system i found a file called ctl3dv2.dll dated 5/11/98. Removed it and all's as it should be with the gamma sliders down to 1.3. Thanks MikeT<G> Hope this may just help someone else though. > i use another game the Gamma is much too high and i really dont want > to have to alter it between games. --
