Trying to install V Rally 2 Expert edition on my machine - when I go to play
the game I get the intro screen but then complete darkness and I have to
reboot my machine.

I am using WinME with a GeForce4 Ti 4200 running detonator 40.52 drivers.

Is it my machine or a bug with the game? I cannot seem to find any patches
for it.

Maybe that's because it's a console game. Hellooo?

Looks very like a PC game to me:

It's a fiver in 'Game'. I used to have it on the PSX a few years ago and
quite enjoyed it. It looks good and plays well on my friends PC so I was
trying to get it to work - but no luck so far...
Infogrames have it on their website but the support section is greyed out -
now there's a thing!

hi guys,

i asked to the guys who made the PC version and the game has anly been
tested on WIN98 and WIN95, it should work with Win2000, but its sure
not working on WinXP.

sorry for that.

Thanks - I'm running WinME which I guess puts me between the devil and the
deep blue sea...
Any idea if there is any workaround that I can do?

It's an older game? Try the 30.82 drivers then. It's worth a shot :)
Hmmm... looks like fun, where can I get it?

I tried some older detonator installations, along with 30.82 - no luck I'm
afraid...
I have seen it for sale at Electronics Boutique/Game in the UK - the site
www.v-rally.com has details of where to buy it.
It's worth the fiver for the Pikes Peak video on the disc - 5 minutes of
superb driving and camera work.
Trouble is, it just makes me want to be able to get the game working even
more!
