when a race begins, and I touch a key, the screen reverses so I am looking at the scene behind the tux racer, how can I correct this from happening?

Asked by ANGandEV

After I downloaded the ETRacer, I played it several times with no problems.
Suddenly, during a race, the picture on the screen reveresed to what is behind the racer, like a look behind.
Now whenever I set up a race, it begins ok but as soon as I touch the keyboard, such as for a left or right turn, the screen reverses to the scene behind the tux racer.
How can I fix this and prevent it from happening?

Try pressing the 1, 2 or 3 keys to change the camera's view mode:
0: Behind
1: Follow
2: Above

Thank you for solving my problem with ETracer. After pressing the "1" key the screen's view corrected the scene to the front of the racer. Now I can prevent him from crashing his poor head multiple times and from always coming in last. This is my favorite Tux racing game and I am so glad that I can play it again while seeing where Tux is headed down through the snow and ice.

My children have hit the same bug -- the camera swings around as soon you touch the controls.
