I`ve just finished making a patch to stop Grand Prix 3 asking to calibrate the graphics everytime you load Gp3.
I think it only happens if you have a tv out or video out on your graphics.

If you want to try/test it just reply and I`ll send it.
Its only for GP3 v 1.13.

If you don't use the tv-out then you can always disable secondary gfx card driver and that will do the trick :)

I`ll upload over the weekend, have to install cuteftp or something.

I`ve discovered another fix that works for Nvidia cards with nView in the drivers. It works for me anyhow with the current latest Detonator drivers for the GeForce2MX400. Just copy the text below into a txt file and save it as nViewoff.reg
----------cut-----------

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\System]
"TwinViewDisabled"=dword:00000001

----------cut-----------

Double click the reg file and add it to the registry. Restart Windows and delete cards.txt and gconfig.txt in your GP3 directory before running Gp3.exe

Calibrate your graphics now when it asks you and thats it. You`ll never be asked to calibrate your graphics when you load Gp3. (Unless you change resolution or graphics card).

If you want to enable twinview again just change the 1 for a 0 where it says dword:00000001, and run it again.

@quickslick

Hi, I`ve sent again to cox44@arcor.de email address, is this correct?

Also included the registry fix if you have an Nvidia card. Which is all you need if you have Nvidia card I think.

Slaps my head in frustration because I never read the FAQ before now here at grandprixgames. Which tells you all about the TwinView with Nvidia card drivers and the registry setting.

Good idea to send it in to GrandPrixGames.org (this site) to make it availible for download. (Click the banner)

Great idea and program by the way.
