But quite why you would look to a known arcade racer as an alternative is utterly beyond me. But then you are a cunt, so I shouldn't be too surprised by your fuckwit actions.

When I installed it the game never asked for a serial number or needed a connection to the internet. Or do you mean copy protection? If that's the case then you need a better DVD-RW drive because I had no issues.

Could be copy protection. But the bottom line is that it used to work, but right now I run it, drive spins up, drive spins down then nothing happens. Its a bit annoying as when it was working it was a very good game. It seems that from looking at Codemaster's forum I'm not the only one. Have tried re-installation and all sorts of other things, but it now fails every-time. My machine does have Kapersky Internet Suite on it and I'm wondering if there is some kind of bad interaction between the two? RobP

Disable Kaspersky before you run the game and/or look for a crack for Grid. Do you have any virtual drive software? That can stop some games from running because they detect virtual drive software and assume you are a pirate so won't run. Two issues with Grid I have seen so far are that my MSFFB wheel feels too sensitive even though I have set it to the least sensitive setting in the game and the AI cars whiz through corners far faster than is realistic. Other than that it is the best arcade racer I have ever played.
