Oh GAYNESS> Just installed the N2k2 patch and now N2k2 will just crash every now and again. i.e. Mid practice - pres Esc and go down to options. press enter. dumped to Desktop. click multiplayer. dumped to desktop Not all the time - just sometimes. Using - Athlon 1800+, 512 Mb Ram, Leadtek Ti4400 - 27.50 drivers - Hercules Game Theater XP sound card - Win XP Pro. Any ideas? Cheers Doug

Uninstall the game, and reinstall from scratch, and then install patch. See if that helps (that's what Papy people have been saying to do). If you're running a GeForce card, you may have to try different drivers. -- ========================================================= DeMONS/1 for Nascar Racing 3 & Nascar Legends http://www.paddedwall.org/demons DeMONS/2 for Nascar Racing 4 and 2002 Season (in development) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons2 RASCAR Roster http://www.paddedwall.org/rascar Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john Barbarian Diecast Collector (460+ cars and counting) http://www.paddedwall.org/diecast If you want to send me email, go to the first URL shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

I had the Ti4400 OC'd to 4600 speed ( which would run 3dMark2001 all day no problem) - clocking it back to 4400 speeds and N4 wont crash anymore Very bizarre Doug

In my case I had change my processor bus speed from 145 to 144 mhz.

Hm - still doing it ( again) Took 4 tries to succesfully join a race - 3 time it just went "poof" and dumped to desktop I wonder if having my RAm as CAs 2 instead of Cas 2.5 has anything to do with it DOug
