SYMPTOMS
========

The first time you play a single-player game of Motocross Madness in the Stunt
Quarry, the frame rate (the speed at which images are drawn on the screen,
usually measured in frames per second) may be reduced during the first minute of
game play. As a result, the motion of the motorcycle and rider may not appear
smooth.

This behavior can occur if an nVidea Riva 128-based or 3Dfx Voodoo-based 3-D
accelerator card is installed in your computer.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Motocross Madness,
version 1.0.
