Colin McRae 2 overlay problem
Hi everyone. Long time reader/follower but decided to register only now that I've got the MSDN ultimate release and I still have a problem that has kept me from playing Colin McRae 2 since the early builds of Seven. I've searched through the gaming threads and didn't found any of this reported yet.
The problem I have is quite strange since it's the only game I own that has this kind of problems: whenever I get through the menus into the race I can't see the car and track... I can hear the engine, I can accelerate, brake, change gears (and I can listen to all of it), but the loading screen (that light blue/gray one) gets stuck in front of the actual ingame graphics.
It works well on the laptop with Vista of my girlfriend, it works well in my old desktop with XP, it even works kind of well with Wine... but I can't get it to work with Seven.
I've tried all compatibility modes, several video drivers, several resolutions, ingame graphics settings.. nothing worked so far.
I know it's an old, old game, but I really enjoy playing 1vs1 on Lan against my girlfriend from time to time... anyone had a problem like this? Any ideas?
my specs:
T7300
3gb ram
8400m GS (puke, I know, but it's more than enough to run it flawlessly with XP/Vista).
7 RTM (legal key and all... :P )
Thanks in advance!
