        Hey Ant,
        How about a separate Bug Report forum? It might help R0M ( or it might just fill up with clutter). What do you think?

          Heres one Rom.
          Windoze 98 auto arranging of icons often fails after reboot. Adjusting them manually does the trick. Automatically save icons positions is set to on as is save windows posistions. The problem isn't present with 4.51.

            And everyone knows bad Half-Life performance, will that bug be fixed or...

            no system specs 'cause it's in the drivers.

              Okay, here might be an easy one:

              Tombraider 3, 1024x768x32bit, even with the gamma turned to 10 it's still very dark in the game. This wasn't with 4.51, with gamma turned to 5 or 6.

              It's overall in the game.

              Motherboard: Asus P2B
              Processor: P3-450
              RAM: 256 Mb PC-100
              OS: Windows98
              DX: 6.1 & 6.0 Runtime
              Graph Card: MGA-G200 OEM (No TVO)
              Graph Bios: 2.3 -11
              Graph driver: 5.13.020
              Desktop res.: 1024x768x32

                Hi Jorden,

                usually Gamma is used in numbers between zero and one.

                This means setting it to 1 won't make any changes, lowering it to 0.5 for example increases the lightness ...

                If that also applies on that game, you might have made it even darker and darker

                Try a setting between 0 and 1 and see if the problem persists.

                  Thanks Maggi,

                  But wrong answer

                  The gamma-setting is ruled from in the game, with 0 being darkest and 10 being lightest.

                  Even with setting 10, I still have alot of darkness around me.

                  Now if I use a flare (in the game) the surroundings don't light up as usual. I've forgotten to say that in the above remark.
                  If I use a flare, Lara lights up, but not much of her surrounding area, as was with the old (4.51) drivers. (bad if you come across someone shooting at you, but you don't see him!!)

                    Listen, Maggi:

                    Games are not graphics ...

                    Games are not graphics ...

                    Games are not graphics ...

                      Talking of crap d3d performance Electronic arts Tiger Woods golf runs more like a tiger with constipation. It improved with the last patch but it's still very unuseable with a G200.

                        Hi, i've got a bug too.

                        When i activate tv-out, there's a signal(which is good), and the box(settings) is checked too. But when i want to switch back to my normal monitor settings, there's nothing to uncheck at the tv-out. So i keep the 50Hz. When i restart my system the problem remains.
