EBX is a pain in the neck. I called to pay by phone and pick up on the way home from work. They would not accomodate me in any way. Would not let me pay, would not set it aside. I've never had a store do that before. Larry "Doug D" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7Nb0a.126241$[email hidden]... > Got it NW NJ Mt. Olive GameStop > Installing now.

Just picked up a copy for $50 in Southern NJ at an EB. Now I'm just hoping the freezes are gone with this version or it's another $200. :-O David G Fisher "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aef0a.108934$[email hidden]...

The only thing I can do if the freezes are still there is to get a new motherboard. I guess I'll find out in a little while. David G Fisher
I was in the lead at Daytona, coming out of the last turn, while blocking some AI car like mad my game froze, every few secs the sound would go from scratchy to full rev...again and again and again...almost cried. But that's been my only incident so far, well aside from not getting to do 16bit with OpenGL(GF4 42.70's), wish I understood that one. Maybe I should try the 42.81's. Jonathan

I don't know your system specs, but you might want to check your memory timing, and check to make sure the video crd and cpu are not overlcocked.. You could also try running hte game suing the "safe" settings in the bios and see if the game crashes. exx On Wed, 5 Feb 2003 18:38:19 -0500, "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I'm guessing they never fixed 2k2 so the same problem may be there in 2k3. Good LUCK lad. dave henrie

So far, no freezes (just liek the press demo). I need to do some more testing to be sure. It did do one thing the press demo did a few times though. After an online race ended and I exited the track and was watching the end of the race in the small replay window, the computer suddenly rebooted. Had to use the sytem restore feature in XP to get things going again. David G Fisher
My EB staff is nothing but a bunch of frag heads. When DTR2 (Dirt Track Racing) came out I went and asked for it. They told me that there was no way that a second one was out 'all ready'. After going back and forth a few times he says Dead To Rights. Should have seen his face when I asked him WTF that was. lol MadDAWG
Might be more productive to find the problem with your computer and fix it. It's not like everyone is having these issues...

But if only ONE program out of how ever many he owns has problems, why would you automatically assume it's a problem in his computer?
