I recently installed Toca2 on my win2k box. I have an ATI Rage 128. When I start Toca2 up it does not run fully. First there was a problem with the menu reverting back to the setup menu, but this was fixed by editing the registry. The problem I am having now is that when the game loads, the intros (for Codemasters and for the game itself) run but the menu comes up all garbled. I tried up[censored] the drivers for my Rage (using some Beta Win2K drivers) but it still doesn't work. Any ideas? DirectX reports that everything is okay and according to the compatibility FAQ, someone else has gotten this game to work as well...... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, thefej

You can also change the affinity of the program by opening the task manager/processes and right clicking (I believe) on the process/program. You should have choice of set affinity -- set it to one of your two (or more) CPUs so that the process only runs on one. I know this worked in NT for my problems with Hereos Of Might and Magic 3 on a SMP. It will allow you to keep the CPU in and have Win2K in SMP mode without loosing anything (speed or otherwise) except in the game itself.
