Three quick questions about Midtown Madness, I'm starting
to wonder if maybe I bought a defective CD from Best Buy.
be in the drive for the game to start. Mine won't start
without being in the drive.
file I can find anywhere is the LOGOS.AVI which is the
startup Microsoft and Angel Studios splash screens.
brings up a window showing the "media manager" help screen.
The file is named MM.HLP, but I don't think it's the right
one.
Anyone else having these same weird symptoms?

I would guess that you have two CD-ROM drives, and the one you installed from is the second one. Trying putting the CD-ROM in the other one and start the game again.
I personally didn't have this problem with Midtown Madness, but I have had it with other titles so I know it's a possibility.
If you only have one CD-ROM drive, then I have no idea what the problem could be...

I just found a new Midtown Madness CD crack at www.megagames.com -
This should solve the problem with having to have the CD in,
downloading it now. No start-game movies in this game like
there is in Motocross-Madness? And still confused why the
MM.HLP file only brings up Microsoft "media manager" stuff...

Actually that was it. I found it out on my own but thanks for the reply. I have a Yamaha CD-r and a generic 40x drive. I was using the CDr to install and play. It installed fine but refused to run the game. I changed over to my 40x and it works now! This game is very cool! ;)

I think they have some sort of funky copy protection, because it often
thinks I don't have the CD in the drive, when it's been in there for a week!
There's even a message at the beginning of the game that says it's checking
the copy protection.
Either that or they have a bad batch of CDs.
