The resolution in my GTR config is stuck at 800/600/16bit and I can't get
any other setting to stick. I've tried a re-install but it didn't help. The
computer is running at 2gigs with 768megs of memory and a 9800pro video
card. Anyone else have this problem? Any Ideas? Thanks.  Don

Any chance your GTR config file is read-only?  Does it change after you
run 3Dconfig and then get forced back when you run the game?

Thanks for the response Kendt.
The Config.ini file is set to Archive only. If I change resolution to
anything other than 800*600 in 3Dconfig, hit OK, close it, and then go
back into it without even running the game it will have reverted back to
800*600, Changes to the refresh rate will also not stick, it reverts back
to 56Hz, but a change to FSAA or Use Vertical Sync does stick.

Do you know what line in the Config.ini file (below) refers to the
resolution? Is it VIDEOMODE=25 ? Also, I'm using version 1.4 yet the last
line says version 1.0, is this the norm?  Don

I almost hate to be the one that tells you this.....

Everything you describe is completely normal.
Each time you open the "configurator" it fills in the DEFAULT 800x600x16
- this display is not relative to what is set in-game.

If you started the actual sim... you would find that your settings are
properly set there.

Just run the config once - set your preferences and then go into the sim.

Cheers

nonexistent problem in my life ;)  Thanks. Don

Hope you enjoy GTR as much as I do..... once you get the bugs (real and
imagined) worked out.   ;)

Yo dude.  Have you looked to see of your monitor has been installed
properly? You might need to reinstall the monitor's .inf  file.
