I`ve probably completely lost the plot but I have only played gpl for months. I tried to load another d3d game (I have a voodoo 1) and it bombed out when you got to the grid and the same with all my other d3d games. although gp2 ran fine. Reinstalled direct x6 and my voodoo drivers with no change. Now gpl still runs fine but when I get in the car and select a gear even though it selects I have no drive and I just sit there revving, the game continues to run. All suggestions gratefully received. Martin

Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't sound like anything to do with graphics cards etc. Sounds like your clutch is in... regards Ian Hill, Cambridge, UK Email: [email hidden] http://members.xoom.com/IanHill http://ianhill.tripod.com/ http://www.crosswinds.net/~ianhill

Good point - try mapping the clutch to a different key or button in case you've got a case of sticky key! Andrew. Ian Hill wrote in message <7uha6g$e29$[email hidden]>...
