I just did a microsoft update and in the list was a driver update for my x800gto.I thought hard and long about installing it and decided what can it hurt.Yes,you guessed it,fire up GTR2,load a track,go to race and the only thing i get up on the car lcd is the rev lights,no timing,speed etc,should have known better.

does 16 bit mode not allow you to view typically? for me it just changes the range of colors.
