Hey
 
I have got Windows xp Running on my AMD Athlon XP1800 with 512 MB DDR 2100 Ram i have a SIS chipset motherboard with integrated sound and a Redeon 7500 graphics card.
 
The Soundcard is a C-Media sound card
 
I also have direct x 9 installed
 
my problem is that i can get into toca race driver successfully and begin a race but when i go back to the interface or menus from the race the computer either goes back to the desktop without any warning or error messages or reboots itself automatically!!
 
i really dont know what the problem is
 
P.S i have ordered an Abit motherboard but i am not sure if this will solve the problem (the one i have ordered is obviously brand new and up to date)
 
if anyone knows can you reply as soon as possible as i might cancel my motherboard order!!
 
thanks for you hellp in advance!

Hey
 
I dont understand this bit of your reply sorry:
 
downloaded (03.26.03.toca_race_driver_proper-immersion) or bought?
 
if you mean the Toca game i have bought the full retail version
 
i have ordered the ABIT KD7 as i thought it might be my SIS chipset on my current motherboard that could be at fault??
 
any thoughts on this?? im using the onboard sound which is a C-Media chip
 
really getting desperate here cause i dont want to spend £80 on a new motherboard that i dont need lol!!

the name with the date - it is the releases information for the "w@rez" version, thas all.
 
 
as for the chipset - have you looked for updates for your motherboard and sounds card?
 
Do you have a PCI sound card you could try out and disable the onboard sound?

its fine i have managed to solve the problem - it was down to the physical memory being faulty! - well i think it was, i took the memory out and reset it in my motherboard and it works perfectly now!!
