went out and bought the darn thing, even after reading many of your
comments. Well you know, some of you liked it, some of you hated it, some
of you haven't tried it. I must admit, the videos got me. Well, I WOULD
try it if I could even get to the track with my controller working. Out of
the box, loaded up for the first time, menu selections flickering all over
the place, like there is a strobe light attached to the menu selection. If
you happen to click the mouse button when the light is on, then you get the
selection. As for the controller, I have a Logitech Wingman Formula Force
wheel, and can't get the darn game to even recognize all of the inputs
(takes wheel input during calibration and controller selection, but no
throttle or brake. Once in the pit, nothing). I have been able to drive a
little with the keyboard, but the game seems to have reset the difficulty
level from pro to something that provides assists. I also keep getting
intermittent crashing to the desktop, and I'm not even driving yet. Boy, if
this is it, I don't know what got into to the talented Mr. Crammond. I know
he and his team could do better than this. I'll keep faith alive though, I
need to give it a chance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My system information.

Is there a troubleshooting website for this game? I see there are many
patches, but if I can't even get this thing running in "generic" mode, not
much hope of patching.
Thanks in advance,
Wayne
