What to check when F12002 ctd's on start-up ?

It only ever seems to happen when I start to install mods such as BPR etc. On two separate installations this has occurred , i.e the correct 'prog files/EA' directory and also on a another drive. Can someone give me any pointers. My rig is :- AMD XP1700+ WinXP pro GF3ti200 64mb 512mb ddr ram latest '43.45' nvdia detonator directx9a Are there any config FAQ links anywhere to be found. ? Also, is it critical the screen is set to the correct frequecy ( I don't know whether my card is 60Hz or 75Hz etc ) cheers IJ

This site has some good info for modders: http://home.cablerocket.com/~waldroff/ and the the pinned threads at Simbin cover much of the installation problems, most solutions for ONE mod will generally transpose to the other mods...EXCEPT the pre-menu problems that occur with GTR. http://www.sbdt.co.uk/forums/index.php?s=78485d522e73bf3216029b0b3149d444&a ct=SF&f=27 dave henrie
