I've had the game about a month now and I haven't seen this problem mentioned Milenium/Monstor Voodoo1, Sound Blaster Live Value and an AMC game card. With most details off I get 36fps in training and 36 most of the time in a race with 5 AI cars. Now, here's the problem: I can race all day long in training and everythings OK. In practice/qualifying (intermediate short) I can only run 3 or 4 laps before I get the message "this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down". If I save the qualifying, I can complete the intermediate short race. It seems I only have this problem in qualifying. I've reinstalled the game with no improvement. Many things in my computer have been upgraded, but I still have the old origional memory and a very old vesion of WIN 95. Could those be a factor? This is very frustrating as it took me a long time just to get to this point with GPL. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to try to provide details. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Sounds like you are running out of memory. Window takes a bunch, GPL takes more and then the growing replay file puts you over the top. If you've got the memory slots left another 32 megs will do wonders for you.
