well, i finally got the demo...
tried it out, and everything looks
great, but everytime i go to run
on the track... it locks..
any comments or suggestions??
oh btw i've got the 16 megs
a fairly decent vid card(#9 motion 531)
but only a 486 dx4-100
i know it said a pentium, but that should only be to
get a decent frame rate...
i hope i can get it to work... i'm dyin' to see it.

It locked up on me too at first; then I tried a simple thing, under the
options menu reduce the number of oppenets to nine---this may help.

I'm pretty sure that this particular release of the demo requires a
Pentium. Some of the graphics code was optimized for a Pentium, using
Pentium-specific code. If you check the other messages in RAS, almost
universally the problems with the demo have been on 486 and equivalent
machines.
