"Dave Henrie"
Well about 3 or 4 re-installs later, I 'found' the problem. Why it is a
problem? I don't know, but when I ran the 3d setup, I was turning on FSAA
at various screen resolutions. I kept getting crashes and lockups UNTIL I
re-ran the 3d setup and turned OFF the FSAA.
Aye Carumba! At least now it works, 3 quick race tests with pitting each
time...no problems...
(my guess is I've disabled FSAA in my Nvidia drivers somewhere...)
