Is your virus scanner up to date etc? Years and years ago I got weird problems like that and it was a crappy Windows 95 virus.

i got it to work!! turns out it is indeed xp64 that was being a bish, corrected that with a combo of every single update for it and runing compatability lol

to the game..... its good! no support for my 3 week old plasystation style controler.. sucks to play with keyboard.. sofar impressions arnt good but if i figure the controller thing out things should improve!!

Yeah you really need something better than a keyboard to use it. Steering is pretty much impossible otherwise.

Have you tried clicking on 'custom' in the controls menu? Then you can just click on accelerate, and push x or whatever on you're playstation controller till it registers it and stores it.

Imagine what fun I'm having with my Commodore keyboard lol! It weighs about 5 kg., and is adapted via RS232 to PS2 connector to make it work with my machine! Talk about brake fade ... no, bloody key fade ...

lmao at that reply!
i still cant get the game to play on my comp with 1.2gb of ram - repeatedly just says video graphics error or whatever it is even though im running a later graphics driver or whatever it is on the config page for intel 8649g whatever it is

I'd say the graphics card is where it's at ... my machine is no hot rod ( as you no doubt gathered! ) but the one semi - decent thing I got for it was an NVIDIA ( or PNY to be exact ) 9600 AGP graphics card. It's a relatively lowly 256 mb., but makes a hell of a difference to everything: takes a lot of strain off the system.

Regards,

Tony

how long exactly does this take to download? Mine has 17 hours to go... it better bloomin work!

Yikes, that IS tragic! I think it took me an hour max with our not terribly fast 'fast' broadband over here in Ireland. I think you might want to turn off other processes while downloading, and if using dial - up, get someone with Broadband to download it + burn it to disc. 17 hrs. seems extreme mind you, even with dial - up.

Assume you're using XP? Come to think of it, in W2k I'm sure I've seen "3 days 12 hours and 25 minutes" ... but then after an hour it changes it's mind to something more reasonable!

Regards,

Tony
