Hello folks
 
I purchased a bunch of games last week, all of which run well, except Grand Prix 4, the one I was really hoping would work.
 
Symptoms: Insert CD... hit "play".. screen changes resolution, goes to black, then returns to the desktop..no game, no message.
 
 
My System: WIn XP Pro on Athlon 1800XP, 256mbRam, 80g HDD,MSI KT266 mainboard,MSI G4MX460V graphics card (64mb). Directx 8.1All current drivers installed for anything i could think of.
 
Obviously there is something I have not thought of.

There are quite a few people having problems with gp4 it seems. I have had no problems so far ... except the odd crash when testing graphics setting to get mine to run at any decent frame rate. Certainly Mr Crammond is going to release a patch for the game which of course is no consolation for you. In the mean time perhaps try looking at some dedicated f1 game discussion boards for some answers like www.f1gamers.com for example. Other than that try and reinstall your video card drivers ... not much help I know but it could work.
