F1 2001 crashing back to desktop after race

Just noticed that after running a race with F1 2001 or the 2002 season update it crashes back to the desktop. You finish the race, it goes to the results page and when you click on accept it crashes. It was running fine before, I'm thinking it is to do with that damn update 2 patch... it's caused nothing but problems.. I installed it and the game wouldn't run at all, so I uninstalled it and it wouldn't run, I reinstalled the update 1 patch and things worked once more... until I noticed this bug. So I'm faced with doing yet another clean install in a different place and then installing all the mods once more... I'm not happy. On the up side, I was getting frustrated at using a Logitech Wingman FF joystick with racing games, and my M$ sidewinder pad was no good for racing games... so I went out and bought a thrustmaster dual analogue FF pad thingy, it was on sale. Very impressed I am too... I know you die hards only like to use a wheel, but I'm so used to a dual shock pad from years of playing on a PSX, and this feels so natural to me... already knocked over 2 seconds of my best time at Melbourne.. now running a lap at 1:28.438.

I haven't put the 2002 cars in, but I do have the 2nd update AND the FIA GT mod, both seem to run fine. dave henrie "Heckler ����" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a6ina2$ep250$[email hidden]... > Just noticed that after running a race with F1 2001 or the 2002 season > update it crashes back to the desktop.

Just run two races with no crashes, one was a Quick race, the other round 4 of a championship. I came 1st in the quick race and 7th in the championship race. I am getting better though, but committed a cardinal sin in the championship. I forgot to check the weather for the actual race and it was raining and left my slicks on... Struggled round and into the pits to change wheels and then fought my way back up to 7th... Luckily my 1 stop strategy helped as every one else seemed to 2 stop, and nearly half the field DNF due to mechanical or accidents.... Including Schumacher, Coulthard, Montoya. After 4 rounds I'm in 6th place with a lousy 6 points, I miscalculated my fuel at Brazil and was running first when I ran out on the last corner and ended up coming in 8th. But the first season I ran I scored 3 points over the entire season, so I'm improving a little at a time, I've got my Aus lap times down from 1:32 to 1:28.. still something like 5 seconds slower than the good drivers though.

It seems to happen totally at random. Heckler

Justcurious... In F1 2001 I'm running 40% length, and in the 2002 season mod I'm running 50%. For some reason it hasn't happened in the FIA GT or ALMS GT mods. Heckler
