As the subject said. When I run N4, it start the intro movie. If I press any key to stop the movie or simply let the movie to finish, the program will die right after. And dump back to desktop with a error dialog box saying "This program has performed a illegal operation, ..." Has anyone had this problem ? I tried different 3D setups (OpenGL, D3D, D3D with T&L) and also tried differen resolution both for 16bit and 32bit. All died. My setup is the following: CPU: PIII 850 Video: Elsa Gladiac GEForce2 GTS (32M) The video driver is the stock version. Sound: Diamond MonsterSound M300 The driver is M300 driver Rel. 1.02 Memory: 384M My question is what can be the problem ? Will updating Video and sound driver help ? Please help.

I have a bone stock GeForce 256 (came in my Micron) and it runs N4 fine in D3D and OGL. I have the latest drivers (version escapes me) and DX8 on a PIII 700 with 256MB RAM. Try upgrading to DX8 and latest drivers before pitching your video card. I run it in 1024X768X32 in OpenGL and get 40+ frame rates with 20 cars on the track with 12 or 15 ahead and 7 behind and most of the candy on. I do drop out the stands when online with a lot of guys, seems to help keep the frame rate near 40 and there is no one really watching anyway, lol. best of luck, edb The Black Cat =^..^= <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'm running N4, no problems with the same video card and stock drivers. Dx7.0a "WooKong Sun" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
