Maybe one of you can help me. I have a fairly new HP Laptop on which I used to play Race Driver (1 & 2). All of a sudden both have stopped working in the same way: when starting up I get an error message (something like "An error has occurred with racedriver.exe and it needs to be closed. We're sorry for the inconvenience") and then it quits even before showing the introscreen. Reinstalling doesn't help. I can't remember installing anything that could possibly cause conflicts and I have tried killing all suspect system threads when running RD.. To no avail.. Still.. there's something on my (truly clean!) system that the Codemasters don't like... Any insights? Cheers! Bram

If you've exhuasted all other efforts..... try changing the date back to when you knew it worked. were you using a crack? or beta? there can be 'time-bombs' in them set to a date. Good luck "Bram" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
