Installed and plays beautifully on a clean load of RC1 - Did not have to
even adjust it to run in compat mode or set it to disable DWM Works flawless - Much Much Much better than EA Sport Nascar SimRacing - which is so trying to be this game and even though it may look prettier - It does not work on Vista at all - Thanks EA....

Great for you Tony! Unfortunately, that doesn't help me with my problem, does

No it does not help you, other than to answer your question if the game
works. I will assume that your issues are hardware/driver related. There is no other reason as to why the game would work on my system and not yours other than the difference of hardware and its driver support I will list my system specs so that you may make a base comparison. Good luck getting this fantastic game to work - Dell Dimension 4700 P4 3Ghz HT enabled 2GB DDR2 - 4200 160GB SATA Drive Creative Labs SB Live! 24Bit - Latest Vista drivers ATI Radeon x700 Pro PCI-E x16 - Microsoft WDDM drivers -- Tony Maynard, MCSE+I Windows Vista Ultimate RC1 - 32bit TechBeta Tester "imacken" wrote in message ...

Hi Tony! I'm just incredibly jealous that you have it working! I love that sim.
We have very similar setups. I have AMD64 x2 4400 2Gb DDR2 160Gb SATA drive ATI x1900XT with latest ATI drivers (I've also tried Windows WDDM) Creative Labs Audigy with latest Creative drivers. I really wish that I could get this to work! It's the only game/app that I'm struggling with on Vista. "Tony M" wrote: No it does not help you, other than to answer your question if the game works.

Did you do a clean install of Vista?
x86 or x64 I found that after I installed the latest ATI drivers, that my directx games had corrupt textures... even when reverting back to the WDDM driver. I did a clean install and just left the Microsoft driver installed, and it worked perfectly out of the box... now you do have a new generation chip with the X19xx card...Im still on the X7xx series... possibly the drivers in box dont support the feature set of your card as its too new. -- Tony Maynard, MCSE+I Windows Vista Ultimate RC1 - 32bit "imacken" wrote in message ...

Interesting Tony! No, it wasn't a clean install, it was an upgrade. I also
noticed that whenever I installed the latest ATI drivers for RC1 that other games had texture corruption that weren't there in Beta 2 and the appropriate drivers. However.... I tried a clean install of RC1 earlier, and I just got a system reboot when it reached 21% of 'expanding files', then a BSOD. I tried again with no luck. So, I'm back to XP until I can find a solution to why my RC1 won't install!
