I recently downloaded a member’s wooden roller coaster and noticed when I tried the track on my XP disk with the freshly installed RCT3 I have there (with nothing custom installed) the ride cars display with that blobby green and black texture, a problem I don’t have with the cars when I set the track up on my Vista disk where my completely loaded copy of RCT3 is. It displays properly in my Vista game so it’s not a problem but I was wondering if anyone would know why it might do this on my XP RCT3 installation.

The green splat means the textures weren't installed right. I don't know any fix for it. But try re-installing the car. Is it the in-game one? If it is I'll send it to you.

Thanks for your input.

It’s a custom coaster and I’m not all that sure what car/texture the ride builder used but based on your reply the ride was uploaded with another car/texture that was not the in-game one. I just couldn't imagine what I’ve installed in my Vista game that the cars display properly in my (loaded) Vista game but the same cars display the splat texture in my (fresh install) XP game.
