I have a N3 install with patch 1.2.0.4 that kicks me to the desktop when I try to enter Multiplayer or View reply from the main menu screen. I have added Pocono from my N2 install to N3. I am a newbie to online racing and finally want to try it after years of racing AI. I am using a V3 2000 PCI card (running at 143 MHz), W98 SE, Athlon 700 at 700 (if it matters), and I have all unnecessary stuff off my system tray. I have read through the readme.txt files from the patch and the cd-rom with no insight as why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Sounds like you may have installed a add-on which modified the layout.dat (decal sheet or something similar). These will delete some of the files needed by the patch, so you will need to reinstall the 1.2.0.4 patch after using any of these 3rd party add-ons. -- Eric "Paul Reiter" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I have a N3 install with patch 1.2.0.4 that kicks me to the desktop > when I try to enter Multiplayer or View reply from the main menu > screen.
