When using GPL i seem to be getting corruption on my text in the race menus. If ive beracing and then go to the menus they are all blocky and unreadable. Anyone know what might bwe causing it as ive tried numerous things without anyjoy. I am using XP with a radeon 9000 card using latest catalyst drivers (it was same with previous drivers) Any help would be much appreciated Thanks Kev Barnes

This is a known problem with the GPL D3D renderer. Gerry

It's a conflict between D3D and 16-bit skins. Cured by either switching to 4bit skins or OpenGL. Also, flicking back to another menu and then returning to the replay window sometimes sorts it out. Kev
