I should give someone else a chance to speak up first. But now I don't have the
iRacing forums to distract me, my caravan is parked firmly in the r.a.s. car park.
Only an eviction order (or a 3 month for $10 iRacing offer) will get me out of
here.

I've run NKPro, Dirt2, GTR Evo, Nascar2003, GTR2, LFS, and RBR under Win7 64. I
seem to remember having to jump through some hoops for RBR (or was that for three
screens?), but the others worked perfectly at any resolution D3D can detect.

Only GTL proved to be a crash-fest. I think there's a fix but I gave up.

GPL is my main annoyance. I can run it ok but it's sounded terrible on my last two
upgrades. Again I'm sure if I persevered I could solve that as well (perhaps with
an add-in soundcard), but there's always something shinier to distract me.

I installed Win7 64 as a test initially and had no problems whatsoever that I could
detect, so stuck with it. It sounds like there's something strange going on with
your system, but I'm clueless as to what.
