Did TOCA Touring Cars fry my Monster 3D???

Hi there all, I bought a Monster 3d recently, and it died after two days of use. Worked perfectly, until I installed the GPL demo, and later tried to play a championship game of TOCA. GPL worked okay. However with TOCA, the computer keeps crashing (or I keep getting an illegal operation thing from windows which closes the program).... but only when I try to play a championship type of game. I returned, and got a new 3D card, but still have got the same problem. Is this a known problem of TOCA (i.e. is there a patch for it?), and could this have stuffed up the first video card? Tia R

Rick, There is a patch that claims "Improved all round graphics card support", but I don't know if it fixes your particular problem. You can get it from Codemasters' web site. -- TMS Development Lucent Technologies. Swindon Road, Malmesbury, England, Wiltshire, SN16 9NA.

I had the game installed on my secondary HD and realized that the game HAS to be installed on the first harddrive (C:) in order to work correctly. Hope this helps. /Kotta
