[mezzler]

hi

got a problem wit the game: first, everything worked great, but after restarting one practise race, i had a fat white sreen on the window so i couldn´t see half of the track, but the game was still running :?
then , i turned the heads-up-display and the frame shown off, but when i started another race, i simply see the track and no displays for rpm and stuff...and i cannot do anything anymore. but when i try to activate the hu-display, the game crashes and i see a white screen.....can someone help?

i use winXP SP 2
processor: amd athlon 1900+
graphics: geforce fx5200
ram: 512 mb
graphic driver: 93.71
game version: 2006-07-08
