"playerx" on the GTR2002 forum came up with the cause (and solution) of the all the problems many people are having with the pre game menus and movies. The problem is caused by using large fonts in display settings in Windows. Go to display settings and select small fonts (96 dpi). That should fix it. Tim
There must be more than one problem then. I am using small fonts but still had a problem with menu corruption. I had to go to 32 bit color to fix the menu problem. Anyway works fine now. Thanks for posting that tip.

Thanks for posting > that tip. Yeah, must be a bit annoying for people with slowish video cards that would prefer to run in 16-bit. Some guy posted a patch on the Simbin forum but it seems to cause more problems than it solves.
Well I tested the 3dsetup with 16 and 32bit with my gf3 ti 200. There was very little difference. VERY little difference. I was suprised. try 32bit it's not a bogger like I had thought. dave henrie
