just have to hang in there on the two new road courses....... just waiting for new drivers from ati or papy to do something..... you can load the n2002 sears and watkins and any other road courses. here's a thread http://community.sierra.com/WebX?[email hidden]@.efbe519 take care, rob

Not sure if this will help, but ATI has released newer drivers than the original Catalyst 3.1s. They're only about 10 days old. You might want to check their site again. The original 3.1's and DX9 resolved the no road-course problem for me. (Radeon 9700 Pro). The new ones might resolve the problem for you....... Kevin Barnes wrote:

yeah for 9500 and 9700 but not 9000 and lower (. rob

I read on the NR2003 Tech support forum at www.sierra.com where someone had this issue which actually was cured while trying to disable the moving graphics on the menu screens and garage screen background. If you search the topics there, looking for the one about disabling the moving graphics, you will find instructions which have helped some people with the road courses not loading.

Thanks a LOT for the link! really. BUT, I kinda find it wierd that Sierra requires you to register to see a forum about a product you own... Gunner "rbeez" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
