F1RST2 problems...

Hi...Tried for a few weeks to get F1RST 2 to work...still no luck... It starts OK, and I can join a race... The computer stops: 1) Sometimes when I choose a car setup... 2) Sometimes I can practice about half a lap...then it sudden ly "hangs" with the car in high revs... Nothging to do other than hard reset the PC...:( BTW ...the GameSpy thing works OK, and all the games/mods work OK offline....that is Alfa147 - M3 Mod - GTR - SCR,,, And everything else run OK...for years... And...I have set the profile in F1RST2... BTW: Win98SE - DirectX 8.1 - 1GHz Athlon - A7V133 - 512MB - Ti4200/128 Any ideas?

News...:) I ran EndItAll and F1RST2 runs...just completed my first race in SCR on Sebring...and won :) But... when I run EndItAll, I have no Firewall (Kerio), no A-virus prg (AVG), no Popup-stopper, nothing....and that is sure a little dangerous...:( Any Ideas how to run F1RST2 at the same time as the prg's mentioned?

I believe that End It All will allow you to set which programs not to "end". I use the original version of End It All and have set it to keep my firewall on. Of course, your firewall will have to be set to allow F1RST2 to run.... Thore wrote:

I used to use software firewalls, and found a great many of them to be so buggy that they caused more problems than they did good. I have a router here with my mini-LAN of three computers and I didn't need to set a thing to get F1RST2 to run. It's only when hosting that you need to set ports and the like. Alanb

Just for current info's sake. We've seen more chat disconnections for users with routers in F1 2k2 than those that have a straight connection. This is supposedly one of the major items that was worked on for F1 Challenge so hopefully it will not be an issue once F1 C is released.
