whenever i’m tryin to play midtown madness 1 or 2 on my laptop, i can’t see a thing as everything gets distorted. it doesn’t happen on my desktop. what could be wrong? plz see the pic below.
my laptop:
AMD Athlon X2 1.9 Ghz
nVIDIA 7000M
Reinstalling might fix it, its just a bad install copy.
bad install or directx conflict…reinstall both of em.
Could be a dead/dying graphics chip too. Or just a badly coded game 
.
same thing even aft re-installing. i think i have direct x 9c. it’s not a coding/game problem. theres something wrong with the graphics card. i’ve tried altering the graphics settings on the game, and nothing happened.
^^A graphics corruption, quite possible the chip mite mite b dying…check with another game and confirm.
I hope your laptop has xp & directx 9c november 2008 update installed 
its most prolly a directx prob..
Can you try turning off the Pedestrians & then check if it helps? I had tried this once with Midtown Madness once & it worked.
tht game is way old…running on dx8
my laptop was bought last february. i’m running halo on it with only minor issues. it has xp on it and has direct x 9c - i think i’ll see if i can upload another screenshot. thx guys
I had same issues, with my onboard Geforce 2, when i used to play MM2 
But i updated the game and all issues were solved 
Try updating the game the update deals with launch n gfx related issues
nothing wrong with the card boi.. its a known issue.. try doing what ragsbava told u. It happened to me too, but then never bothered to troubleshoot as GTA came into the picture
hi there! thx a lot for ur suggestion. yes, that worked, also had to download>copte>paste the no-CD patch aft that. repped u for that. thx again
Sorry for the O/T, I thought someone dig up an old thread
When I tried running Midtown Madness on my PIII , 64 MB RAM when it came out, I could not run it @ high settings. I had to be content with Road Rash
