I am having a problem running N3. When I launch it, I get an Init Error popup box that says "fileBegin Failed". N3 previously ran fine on two different machines, and now it is failing in the same way on both of them. I tried installing the 1103 patch, but that doesn't make any difference. Both machines have Logitech FF wheels on them. I tried commenting out the FF parameters I'd earlier installed in N3.ini, but that didn't help either. Both machines ran fine with N3 previously. NASCAR Legends runs fine. I can't imagine what might have changed on both machines to make N3 stop working. Any ideas?
