Has anyone else been able to crash their car so bad it crashes the computer as well. This happens to me at least once a day where I will be racing and either hit something head-on or clip a fence or somerthing that will send the car airbourne. Any severe crash seems to freeze the screen (sound continues) and locks up the keyboard forcing me to power-off reboot. This has happened wtih a Viper770, GeForce CLAP card and now my Prophet 2 GTS card. Using a CL Live X-Gamer sound card. Don't know if it is hardware or software. Just curious...

Talk about realism. EA offers something that even the hardcore GPL enthusiast would envy. On 19 Jun 2000 09:59:26 EDT, [email hidden] (Sinjin) wrote:

Hi Sinjun, I've been playing NFSPU for a few days (with my MadCatz Andretti wheel, as a matter of fact, which I love, etc.). No problems here, and I've hit some stuff really hard.. rear-ended another 911 right into a bridge opening, for example. I love this game and now want to buy an old Porsche worse than ever. I have the Diamond Viper 770 Ultra 32. Good luck! Andrew Sinjin wrote:

Hi, Just a silly question: Did you install NFS5 on your C hard drive? At first, I installed the game on my drive D, and had a lot of strange crashes (really a LOT, including because of car crashes!) and it finally all worked perfectly when I reinstalled the game in drive C! I do not understand why it worked, but it did :). Cheers, Cyrille Sinjin <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : [email hidden]...
