Hey everyone...


I just installed CFS2 on my laptop, and as soon as I tried to play it, I got this problem...

Any ideas anyone?

See what the error report contains and post it here. Will have a better idea what is going on.

Ok, well I did a little research and this is what I found.

1] The file, cfs2.icd is located in your Main CFS2 Program Folder.

2] At one site it recommended to turn off Mip Mapping.

Here is what I suggest you try. FIRST, try turning off Mip Mapping. If the game won't even let you get that far, then go into your Vid Card settings and try turning it off there. See if you can run the game.

If this fails, then update your drivers for your Vid card. Then try again.

IF looking in your CFS2 Main Folder you don't see a cfs2.icd file, then look in your CFS2 Disc and find it and put it in there. Try again.

This is all I can come up with with a possible quick fix. Appears to be a problem with CFS2 and your Vid. card/settings.

Good luck MACV.

I'm afraid the General is busy at the moment. But he promises to get back to you soon. ;D

I fear the worst, I just discovered that my NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go is one of the worst for game support...

Under windows SETTINGS change the screen to 16 bit and see if that works. I had to do that on a Sony to get CFS and FSDS to work.
