Hi
P4 3.0, Radeon 9000, 1 GB RAM
FS2004. Works, except 'normal' view (inside, but not virtual panel)
where panel should be is just a black rectangle. Mouse pointer shows
gauge names. But, when i press
Alt, to access menus, THEN the panel appears. In windowed mode the
panel is ok.
Help!!
Alex

Strange that it happens with an ATI card, it's a rather known problem
with NVIDIA cards and older drivers, did you try updating the video
drivers for the Radeon?

Yep. Latest (AFAIK) video drivers as well as latest directx (9.0 b).
It is only in full screen mode that I have this problem. But annoying
anyway.
