NR2003 Lockups

I have a XP Pro machine with a GF2 card, SB Live card. Running 30.29 drivers now (but have tried 40+ drivers as well). Been running NR2002 with no problems at all. Never locked up the whole time I have run it. I installed NR2003 this evening, and within 30 mins I have had to reboot this PC more than the whole year I have had it. I have tried running with various levels of graphics options. NR2003 is the only program I have that has managed to lock this PC up tighter than dicks hatband. Anyone have any suggestions? TIA

I've got similar issues, although with me it dumps me back to the desktop with an illegal operation error. Tends to happen when there's accidents or higher CPU use. Never happened once in N4, 2002 etc. Maybe it's related to graphics card....I've got a GF3-ti200. I've noticed the GF4 and Radeon guys have no problems. I'm trying different combo's of drivers so I'll let you know how I go. massivechicken.

Thanks Gene. Similar to you it seems to happen during accidents or other significant events with me. I am running 30.82 not 30.29 as I described below. I have tried 40.xx drivers as well with the same results. "Gene Penman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b3mhgh$[email hidden]...

Hi, I had similar problems, tried many "solutions". The one that worked for me was lowering the cars drawn ahead to around 10. Still have some issues with the game but at least I can get a full race or two in now ;) Mike RHinNC wrote:

Well it helped quite a bit. I tried to run 4 races, got wrecked 3 times. On the 4th race it locked up during qualifying. Back to drawing board.
