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.
