im running win xp /1.4 athalon /geforce3 WoO sprint cars locks or reboots system when the game starts if i have latest gforce drivers i can get it to run ok with much older drivers but then all my other racing sims lose frame rate. anybody know how to fix this ive tried 28.32 drivers and they still cause lockup/reboot problem - happens on ALL ratbag games (dirt track racing, leadfoot, etc) - ratbag cant/wont help..

Ratbag games are probably the worst game titles out there as far as game/graphics D3D code goes. One thing that I have found is that if you have anything over clocked it will cause great instability. The only way to run Ratbag games steady is to use a 3DFX card. Someone involved with the original DTR told me the game code is DX3 for graphics and DX5 for sound, or maybe the other way around.

consider yourself lucky. I know of 4 people with GF3 cards and only 1 of us can run either Ratbag game without any problems. MadDAWG

I had to switch to software mode on both DTR and DTR:SC when I went from a voodoo3 to a geforce2. Nothing else worked, not even every nvidia driver from 5.32 to 12.41 (I'm agreeing with MadDAWG). cheers John
