N2003--can't get it to work

I guess I'm a little slow. I just got it today. Installed everything, started it up and I get the blue screen telling me it's shutting down so it doesn't damage the computer. I installed the update patch, tried both OpenGL and DirectX D3D, compressed and uncompressed the N2003 folder. I'm using win XP Pro, NTFS with an ATI Radeon 9200. Any suggestions? Thanks

try disabling your sound card read the read me folder in nascar "PowerPost2000" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Run Dxdiag and set the sound aceleration to "Standard" instead of "Full", that should do it. Jo�o Gonzalez
