f1 2002 3d config locks up and in game

I am trying to get f1 2002 to run, but im not having much luck at all. I have an amd 1400 with an msi ti4600. Every time i run the 3d setup benchmark it hangs on loading high textures. If i dont run the benchmark and go straight to the game it loads up, but as soon as i click on drive the pc locks up. IVe tried the latest drivers from both nvidia and msi for my graphics card. Ive also got multi boot and have tried both win 2000 and XP which still hasnt helped. If anyone has any ideas i will be very gratefull. Thanks in Advance Mrlargeit

check your directX version number. I don't know how it's done in win2k or XP but there should be some sort of DX control panel. For F1 2k2 I'm pretty sure you need dx8.1 btw...why dual boot win2k and xp? Aren't they both based on the same kernal or code base? dave henrie "mrlargeit" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It seems there is a glitch in *some* DirectX installations. I don't know if this will help or not, but worth a try : Go into DX Diagnostic Tool, Display tab, & click the middle "Disable" button for Direct3D Acceleration...Enabled............................[Disable] It should still say ...Enabled...if not, do it again, what can it hurt? ;) . HTH, Brian

I have the latest direct x and drivers for the card. It appears that the card seems to lock up in all direct x games, but not jedi outcast which uses opengl. Changed motherboard, reinstalled xp still got problem. Not sure where to turn now. PS I had dual boot as i had an older graphics card which certain games would work on xp with the 3rd party drivers and some on win 2000!
