Which clearly indicates a hardware/driver conflict. Could be anything from your CD-ROM driver to your primary video driver to your version of Glide (if you run a Voodoo card). It might help to list your system specs. And make sure you have all the latest DirectX-certified drivers for your hardware, of course. Have you tried EA's online tech support at www.ea.com?

Does it crash when its trying to load a track or right at the beginning when you first load?

Get Antiviral toolkit pro, (www.avp.com). I had exactly the same problem, Even after I formatted and re-installed my whole system. It turns out the problem was the WIN95.CIH Virus
