Quote: Yup, sure do post over on OcuK As for the pacth, you can get it from here Thanks 4 the link -although the patch won't <<cough>> install for me <<cough>>, so I'll just have to keep playing it under 98se I suppose.

One of the main reasons is that SBK2001 will only work in 16bit colour (yeah, I know -sucks huh?), u could maybe try running it @ 16 bit + in '98 compatability mode.

Quote: I played through the whole game again recently under XP, and apart from having to patch it, I didn't encounter a problem. The game played from start to finish. Maybe it's not related to your video card though. Could be something to do with the sound card. Can you change the drivers for it, or maybe pull it out and try without sound. Hey Burser! -You post on OCUK don't ya -wonder how many others there r on ere! Anyway, mesa got similar 'exit to desktop' probs under XP, but fine under 98. -where can I get the patch from... the last time I tried to get it from the MaxPayne site it said the file didn't exist.

Hi, I'm dual booting 98/XP & in 98se I can set the refresh rate to optimal, yet in XP the only options in Display properties are individual refresh values + defaults to 75hz. If I try to up the refresh rate then the display is re-sized? My monitor is an Iiyama Pro451 which can do 160hz @ 1024x768 & 110hz @ 1280x1024 so how can I set XP to use the optimal refresh rates. BTW I have dissabled vertical sync via NVmax

Hi, Has anyone got the Thrustmaster FF wheel working in XP Pro? I only have 98dvrs in the box (managed to find 2000 dvrs for USB), but would rather use serial connection if poss. Win XP will not install the wheel using the auto install. BTW it is XP Pro2600 final release with all updates from the MS site Anyone?
