I'd hate to be the one trying to sort THIS problem out! With me, it
started happening when I changed MB, CPU and VII card but there are so
many other people with all sorts of OTHER configurations exibiting the
same problems!

This is probably the best sim released this year (or any other) and I
was just statrting to get good lap times after 500 laps of Monza.

 Now I'm having to practise in my own car on public roads.

PLEASE GET THIS SORTED BEFORE I KILL SOMEONE!

Add Monster Truck Madness II and PowerBoat Racing to the list...

It seems the most reliable game I play on the Monster II is Viper
Racing!

November 22nd is just around the corner :)

I had similar lockups when I installed a yamaha waveforce sound card. I went
back to my SB16 and haven't had a lock up since. I assumed it was a problem
with the sound card driver. oh, I have a rightous 3d (voodoo) BTW. Hope this
helps.
