Hi all..here is a thread I created at another site. I think it will get the point across.

Hi,

I am still having issues getting N2K to run nicely using Vista. Here
my specs:


Abit AW9D-Max
Intel E6600 @ 3.2 GHz
2GB G Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ 4-4-4-12 1:1
EVGA 8800 GTX
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB
OCZ GameXstream 700W PSU
X-FI Xtreme Gamer
Zalman 9700
Cooler Master STC-T01
Samsung 226BW 22" LCD


Using Vista Ultimate, all hotfixes and drivers updated. If I use my
old CRT i can get N2K to run smoothly with v-sync on using opengl. I
prefer these days to use my wide screen display. I cannot for the life
of me get things running smoothly 9native 1680 x 1050). In D3D v-sync will not work even when forced. The fps are high but it still has a "choppy" feel to it.

Opengl will lock at 60fps with v-sync on however the frames dropp
halfway into the first lap of a race. It has to be tied in to Vista/Nvidida drives/16:9. Unfortunately I do not know what the fix is.

Tried right clicking the .exe and using compatability mode, etc..

Does anyone having this running nicely using a wide screen and vista. My machine is dual boot I can jump over to XP if needed. However I have all my other racing games (GTR2, R-Factor, Race07) working nicely.

Thanks,

DC
