nVidia 40.72 does not work with F1 2002

Anyone else have a problem with the 40.72 drivers (for windows 98) not working with F1 2002? Fails to even complete the 3D setup, and afterwards no other directx games will run until I reboot. Other games work fine as long as I run them before trying to run F1 2002. After trying to run it the dxdiag tool reports no directx adapters present.

Oh yeah - in case it matters: 128 meg GF4 Ti 4200, Celeron 900, 512 meg RAM, SB Live, 64 meg AGP aperture (the bios does not allow larger), CUSL2 motherboard, blah blah blah....

I had the same problem. Turn off anti-aliasing in the F1 2002 3D setup program - that worked for me. -- Mr Q (replies to mrq AT optusnet DOT com DOT au) ***************************************************************** "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aoimae$mahin$[email hidden]... > Anyone else have a problem with the 40.72 drivers (for windows 98) not > working with F1 2002?

Thanks. By any chance have you checked to see whether it will still work if you turn FSAA back on in the options.cfg after running the setup?

I installed the 40.72 drivers for my VisionTek Xtacy Ti4 4400 board, and it works perfectly with F1 2002,GPL, LFS,& Nascar 2002.

NM, I found the obvious solution, just force it on with the tweak icon afterwards. "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aoks33$nbhng$[email hidden]...

Have you used FSAA at all? In GPL, I found that FSAA slowed down the menus and the replay screen to the point where they were unusable. I mean literally waiting 10 seconds or more for the screen to refresh. Other than some slight texture corruption it worked fine with 30.xx. "Joel A.

Yep - FSAA worked fine as long as it was turned on somewhere other than the 3Dsetup program. -- Mr Q (replies to mrq AT optusnet DOT com DOT au) ***************************************************************** "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aol6hu$nstb4$[email hidden]... > NM, I found the obvious solution, just force it on with the tweak icon > afterwards. > > "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:aoks33$nbhng$[email hidden]... > > Thanks.
