I just downloaded the Cart PR demo and discovered I needed Direct X 5. to run. I then installed that and seemed to have lost my Sierra drivers for the Screaming 3d card. In display properties I am now using the microsoft drivers. If I try to reinstall my sierra drivers I get a scrambled screen. If I use the standard rendition drivers It works but I would like to have my Sierra drivers back. Just wondered if and of S3d owners out there have run into this and what you have done. Thanks for any help.

goto the video adapter types, set it to install screamin 3d, instead of installing it from the cd, set the path to c:\windows\system and let it read from there try that

Thanks, that did the trick and I can still run the trial version of CPR with hardware acceleration, unlike what I tried to do. I attempted to ... oh never mind... I get goofed on all this direct x, oem2, new game controller stuff. Thanks again. lizard
