Paintkit.exe won't run

Help please. Paintkit won't work for me. I had it working, and messed around a lot with a car. Then it crashed and I found it had corrupted the whole of the cars file and wouldn't run. I'd only had the game a couple of days, and thus just re-installed (ie copied the cars files and paintkit.exe from the cd). Now it doesn't run at all. It shows up the initial title of a dos program initialising. It says (I think) "testing.....ok" The screen then blanks (apparently switching to a graphics format?). It then drops back to a prompt. No error messages, no opening screen, no nothing. Does it need more "instalation"? Are pointers or something in a cfg or ini type file wrong? Anyone got any ideas? All help gratefully accepted.

As far as I know, your Paintkit is fine, it's your cars file that's faulty. Why not download the BTCC carset or other cool Nascar sets from The Pits [http://www.ukps.com/thepits/], stick them in the cars directory and use them instead of the originals.
