PLEASE help me anyone! I installed IE5 on my computer (that's the only thing I've done since this happened) and after surfing, started up GP3. It crashed and continues to do so. An error message comes up, "illegal action" and will not go any further. I even uninstalled GP3 and re-installed it and still no go... I am very depressed now, I need to race! thanks in advance for any help Sean

Don't know whether the IE5 installation mucks about with the DirectX installation, but it is not unlikely -- it does muck about with A LOT of things! If so, the current DirectX may conflict with sound card or video card drivers. Check DirectX version, look into upgrading DirectX and/or install latest driver versions until you find a new combination that works... :/ -- "Walk like a Syrian" Per Thulin Visit Jane The Hamster's web site at http://w1.541.telia.com/~u54108168/ Spamblock in operation - remove "_no" "spam_" to reply by mail.
