>Anyone else has the same problem ? any way to solve it ? Just spoke to a lovely young woman at codies, at it seems they are having well, "mass" problems, to the effect she is being brought in to help the situation. :) Anyway, by and large is there are some problems *implied* regarding the on disk copy protection, and with graphics cards. She said that some info should be up on the codemasters website by tomorrow afternoon. (www.codemasters.com) was mentioned, not www.colinmcrae.com Aside, i've been using my Riva 128 instead, and this game is awesomely playable. Best rally sim ever- and for my money the most enjoyable driving sim i've played in a long long time. Z.

I'm soooo glad to read this, I'm been having a nightmare trying to get CMR to work, I've yet to be able to get through to the helpine it just rings and rings (I e-mailed them but no reply) but I'll take another look at their web page tomorrow, thanks for the info.....

Seems that they are having a extensive problem it turns out with their CD Check/Copy prot. Seem's the software is identifing original CD's as copies/fakes, and refusing to run. Big old problem. Still lets hope they get to the V2/DX6 Driver prolem shortly... Z.

I wasn't aware of the CD problem, I would appear to have the V2/DX6 problem (I'm using a monster 3dii card), it just crashes straight after running the intro video......i wonder if putting DX5 back on would work? does it need DX6?

i was goign to try re-installign the V2's old Reference drivers, and not the new (monday Release) of the DX6 V2 driver. If you are using an early release of the driver than that, well, i guess i need not bother. Using DX6, is required, FYI. Z

Hi, I just stuck CMR on for the first time - didn't have anyluck with the demo, but got the full CD - installed okay (once I'd deleted demo). I have Win 98 plus core DX6 drivers already (didn't install DX stuff from CMR disc) plus couple of weeks old Creative Labs V2 drivers - not sure whether to put V2 Dx6 Beta drivers from Monday on in case they***everything up. Game is great - even being a complete philistine and playing on the keyboard, I can get a really good skid going round a corner without spinning off all over the place like I used to on TOCA:) Bill.
