hi,
running an ati 4870 on vista x64, jus updated the drivers for said video card and now when i start rfactor the video config comes up but all options are blank!!?? and i cant even close the config box! try to start again and same happens (so cant get rfactor to start at all!!), i jus end up with loads of config boxes i cant close!!
rolled back video card drivers and same happens!??
any help please? thanks in advance
 
Well neither did I have uac on and I was also the administrator when I installed rFactor and what happened to me was the same issue you had. Then I ran it as an administrator and my problems were solved but for the graphics not running at my preferred resolution so I had to set that manually.

Have you got an rfactor folder in your documents folder?
 
tried running as admin with no joy and i dont have an rfactor folder in my documents. but i hav managed to get rfactor running by manually editing the config.ini, i have the resolution set but i cant get 32bit colour set! could someone please post their config.ini settings? (preferably on full settings)
thanks again
