My system specs:- PII 450, 512MB, Leadtek Geforce2 MX400 (64MB), Voodoo II
(12MB), DirectX 8.1 (4.08.01.0901), nVidia 12.41 drivers, Win 98.
I know that the above is the bare minimum to run EA's F1 2002, but I want
to try GTR2002!!
I am having problems running F1 2002, as when I start the program it
performs the graphics setup, and then ends with the message "CUBE 3D Setup
cannot be run on this computer. No DirectX 8 video adapters found. Please
contact your video card vendor for updated drivers."
I have updated my drivers to the latest(?) from nVidia (41.09), but still
receive the same message. Is my Geforce2 MX card not DirectX 8 compatible?
Would it be any use trying to run the program on my laptop (P4 2.53, 512MB,
GeForce4 420 Go)?
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

go to start/run then type dxsetup. Check to see if your directX is
enabled. Sometimes the buttons are backwards. So press it a few times and
let it toggle to the 2nd option...try running 3dconfig again. If it still
doesn't work once again press the button to the 1st choice(enable/disable)
and try it again. For some reason dx gets shut off occaisionally.
