Are you running full installation or compact. I find compact hasn't crashed
yet, but full was a bit prone (probably CD spindown).

Scott have you got the Europe patch from the web site I had similar problems
when loading stages if you need the patch give us a shout.

I've been playing the intermediate mode on CMR, and every time I get to
stage 5 at Australia, it locks up when it's about 20% loaded just before the
start of the stage.
I uninstalled the game, reinstalled it again, even started the championship
for the beginning again, but it still locks up.
This is **really** annoying as I can't get any further with the game, and I
want to get to great britain.
Really hope someone can help.

It's a 3Dfx related problem. Try running the stage with software
accelereted graphics.

known to help. You onlay can save the game after stage 4, change
graficcard on your normal card, and go stage 5 and 6 with bad colors
and resolution. After this, change on voodoo2 again.
Good luck.

Try the original 3Dfx drivers that came with your card. I'm sure CMR always
worked right through the championship with the old drivers, I certainly have
never had to switch to software mode before now.

Thank you very much, I would have never have thought that just one
particular stage would have crashed because of Voodoo 2. I'm sure I ran it
ok before with my voodoo2 card, although that was with older drivers.
Again, thank you very much, you've solved the problem for me and I can carry
on racing!!

Thank you very much, although someone had suggested using my 2D card instead
already, your advice is sound. Why do you think that stage 5 in oz is so
different from every other stage??
Also, I downloaded the latest 3dfx drivers, and now there is no transparency
in the game!!! All the smoke and water looks ridiculous because it is 100%
opaque. I though that new drivers were meant to improve things!!
Thanks again
Scott

voodoo2-cards. CMR-Australia stage5 does not work with V2. If you find
a solution (new drivers, cheat, patch), tell me please, but I never

I have had the same problem, and YES the answer is to install your original
voodoo2 drivers....
