Hi guys!

Well, i'm trying to get running this game (Midtown Madness) under Windows XP and using a Geforce 250GTS. A days earlier, I was using a 460 GTX and it ran flawlessly, pretty nice indeed. Had to return that card and got a 250 GTS, but this time, the game doesn't recognize the card as a 3D accelerator and thus, only show available "software mode" under the graphics options 😒

on the other hand, Midtown Madness 2 runs fine.

Any of you with similar issue, or how to force the game to detect and use the primary vga card? BTW, i'm using the first available driver for this card (182.08), tried with some modern ones (186.18) and the driver used with the GTX 460 (258.96), but no luck 🙁

Thanks in advance! Any comment or help is appreciated 😀

Guys, just for the record and future questions.

I have installed the patch (v 1.2), and deleted the "video.cfg" on the game folder, redetect the 3D card and presto, the Geforce 250 appeared! Thus, i attach the required files to solve the problem.

Thanks for this great site!
