When I go back to the desktop after playing NASCAR 3 my icons are messed up. Even on the start/programs they are blacked out. I have tried VooDoo3 3000 drivers 1.04.00, 1.05.00 and 1.06.00. I had 1.04.00 and thought that might have been the problem, but the problem still exist even with 1.06.00. I am running NASCAR 3 patch 1204 also. The only way to correct the icons is restarting in safe mode, then go to the Windows directory and delete shelliconcache. Then restart and the icons are fine but when I play NASCAR 3 again, you guessed it. SCREWED UP!!! I'm taking this as NASCAR 3 just isn't campatible with Windows ME. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kent :) Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Went to Thrustmaster and downloaded the new driver (relased today) for my new T-Master NASCAR Pro Digital 2 Wheel. That fixed the problem with the icons. I would have never thought that would have been the problem. Found out I was trying to run the wheel in Windows ME before the ME drivers had been released. Totally my fault!!! DOH.

Thanks again, Kent :) TweakUI has a Repair tab that will fix your icons right away. I have no idea what's causing your problem, however, as I'm using N3 with Windows Me and no problems. http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/PowerToys/Networking/NTTwea kUI.asp -- <remove 7of9 for e-mail replies> -- Bill Jones e-mail addresses: Computer Sciences Corp.

OK. last post. it was the new voodoo 1.06.00 drivers. something must have happened during the download and install. downloaded 1.05.02 and all is fine. going to format this weekend and do a fresh install of 1.06.00. that was probably it. thank for the help. kent :) Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
