NR2003 Can't Set Options (re-post)

...apparently my first post has disappeared... I haven't used my NR2003 in quite a while as there has been an issue that prevented me from opening the "options" menu. Every time I try, the game crashes to the desktop. Last night I bit the bullet and uninstalled it then reinstalled but the problem remains. Any ideas? I can't recall if I had used the game since I installed SP2 since it was long ago. My son has a renewed interest in the sim and wants to race his old man but I can't get mine up and running properly...and I have the "better" computer. AMD Barton 2500 Abit KV7 2 ea WD 160GB SATA ATI AIW9600 w/128mb 2GB Ram Win XP SP2

Did you use any tweak programs like nr assistant or whatever thats called? when you uninstalled the game did you also delete the entire papy folder left over? I believe it will keep all the files that are modified after you installed,like the core and app.ini files,so it may be keeping the file thats giving you trouble..just a guess. Mike mls67 trippbros.

Yup thanks that did the trick. glad I saved all my downloaded mods, cars, tracks etc to a seperate folder. Guess that isn't much of an "uninstall" is it?
