Colin McRae keeps giving me a failure message when I run rally.exe. I can't get the game to load. The demos (game.exe) works fine, though. I have DirectX 6.1 and all the latest drivers for my 12 mb Voodoo2 card. My computer is a Cyrix 6x86 p166+ with 48 mb of ram and Windows 95. (I know my processor is weak, but I think I atleast could get to the menus of the game... ;-) ) Any hints ? Please help me getting the game to work ! I've tried every kind of installation, and most things I could think of. PS: I've downloaded the patch. :DS
You need to change the waterpump back to stock and remove all the engine mods that rely on that pump being able to shunt more heat away from the engine. Oh, sorry I thought you meant... oh never mind. -- Suck The Goat

Try uninstalling the demo, and re-installing the game. Also, the latest Voodoo2 drivers have been causing problems with some games. Try loading the drivers that came with you card, even though they might be DirectX 5.0 drivers, load them any way. On another note, (no flame intended) you have got to be the only person witha Cyrix p166+ and a Voodoo2 card.
