Have posted previously about the game crashing out after the first
lesson of the driving school.
I have now found what is causing this - the path name for the sequence
which tells you if you did it
right or wrong is over 66 characters long and for some reason Windows
refuses to read it.

Not sure what I can do about it though. But I'm not that bothered!!

Thanks for spotting this - it was driving me mad.

The fix is easy.  Install the game again but instead of installing it
to c:\Codemaster\Colin...etc.. install it simply to c:\Colin

Then the bug goes away !

Richard.

CMR dont like installing into a dir with space in it.
That's the problem.
