I am not able to start the game. If I click the icon the CD spins up, dies down after a few seconds and nothing happens...I am staying at the desktop. Installed everything according to the readme. I do not have a clue to whats wrong. The system is running on Win98 with a Gforce2 card. Any idea is welcomed.

There are some missing files in one of the mas files in the options folder. Thrasher fixed it a day or so ago. So go back to Thrashers site and REDOWNLOAD the options.rar file. Extract that to the options folder of your Turbo install and MAKE sure the new files overwrite the old files. 2nd. One paticular instruction has been confusing folks. He wanted you to DELETE the CAR folders inside the Seasonxx/vehicles. But many users have been deleting EVERYTHING inside the vehicle folder. good luck dave henrie --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Thanks, It was a missing file in the download, as you mentioned. It is running now although it is very "crash-sensitive". Good effort, some nice cars. I love the way the turbo-lag is moddeled. On Sun, 29 Dec 2002 02:57:05 GMT, "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote:
