if anyone is still following this thread, it seemed that a reinstall fixed things, kinda. I've had random crashes of the same type but not as many. anyway, that's all see you online!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! damnit! ok I can get in now fine and have raced but the game keeps crashing before I cna finish a race. It's happened every time now! I keep getting an 'invalid share' error that crashes back out to the desktop. what the hell is that? Is this common, or because of the crack or am I just screwed? agrivated...

well that solved one problem. I don't get the 'connection lost' dialog anymore, but now it says my user/pass is invalid even tho I've checked it about 20 times, changed my password, changed from case sensitive and off, everything. so this is kinda weird. Also, installing the latest crack lost the music and video again. thanks!

ok, I finally got it to work in WIN2000. That means I had all the problems, the 800 meg problem, the lockup, etc. tried all the fixes that people posted...nothing worked. Until I downloaded a crack of all things and no it works beautifully. It's ridiculous that I have to resort to a crack to play a game I legally bought...but anyway, I have the feeling that the crack isn't allowing me to play online. I know the connection works within the game cause it let me update to the most current version but when I go to login it just sits and tried to connect ( I see my modem lights going) and then brings up a dialog box saying 'connection lost'. I tried changing the password entering the wrong one, etc. and still the same thing, so I'm wondering if the crack interferes with the online racing in any way...anyone have any experience? thanks! .12
