change the number at the end to 0

only reason i can ever remember for getting a solid white screen was punkbuster on the full version. but this doesnt have pb and isnt the full version...so, erm...hopefully running a window will give us some sort of idea.

might want to see if there are some settings in your control panel for the video card...not sure what that even supports...but might have AA or AS on or something hindering performance.

I don't even think that Rage Pro supports AA/AF. Do look in your graphics options though. It's in the Advanced options under the 3D tab.
