Here is a temporary fix for the initial Patch#2 bug:
Go to the directory where F1 2001 is installed and rename the F1 2001.exe
file to EXACTLY:
"f1 2001 1.0.7.6..exe" (without the quotes, yes, with ALL of those dots)
This should work until a proper release of Patch#2...
We would be back to a CD version until a No CD is out?
And how does the 1074 and 1076 coexist in multpiplayer?

f1 2001 1.0.7.6.exe
(just one less .)

It's because your Windows "Folder Options" are set to "Hide file
extensions for known file types". This is Microsoft's way to hide simple
things from users in order to confuse them. Because your "known" file
extensions are hidden, when you rename an existing ".exe" file to
"File..exe" Windows will change the name to "File..exe.exe" but display
"File..exe"!! This is Microsoft stupidity at work.
I suggest you change your folder options to clear up the confusion.

I went to EA's US site & drew a blank on
a patch for F1 2001.
