Just got new pc, P4 2.8, gig of ram (dual channel), TI4800SE, SB Live etc.
etc. that's running a clean install of XP Pro, e.g. "raw" hd, boot with cd,
install XP with SP1, installed latest motherboard drivers and video card
drivers. Updated to SP2 using MS's cd then went online and downloaded what
Win Update said to. That's pretty clean in my opinion? I did turn off a
couple of services that I'll seemed as if I'd never need, e.g. Smart Card
etc.

Started installing some of my old favorite games as well as a few I've not
been able to enjoy. In general all went well ...

CMR2, Serious Sam, CS, UT, UT2004, Doom3, NFS-U, U2 & Unleashed, Rallisport
Challenge, Black Hawk Down, COD, AA, KOTOR and others all running no
problems and as expected, e.g. 1280x1024 and all eye candy running
without hesitation..

except for ...

GPL - required Indexing Services thru installed home folder tree else CTD.
Thankfully racesimcentral had a thread goggle found about this "fix". It
runs fine now.

VRALLY3 - can't find any helpfull solutions to it simply CTD'ing, generating
a Windows error message apologizing for the problem and offering to send the
error report off to MS.

Installed on a friends pc (test possible cd problem) who has similar gear
except ATI 9800 instead of a TI4000 and no problems ???
It also runs (but poorly) on my old PIII at 733Mz, 512 ram and an ATI 7200
in it.

As I said, just a shot in the dark someone has an idea ?
