Mike:

I'm having what seem to be the same problems with MotoCrossMadness2 - the
only way I can be pretty sure to get it running is to reboot, reinstall it
and set everything up again. Then it will run until it crashes or I exit and
have to repeat the whole process over again.

I have fewer start-up problems with the game if I don't let it check the CD
but play straight from the HD. Nevertheless, it will still only last a short
while. When it does play it is better than ever on this new system (AMD64
3200+, Giga N-force 4Ultra, 2 gig DDR RAM, ATI X-700). It is installed on a
separate XP boot that has minimum stuff installed; on my main XP boot it has
just as much trouble, if not more, but plays much slower on the rare
occasions I can get it going.

MCM2 was previously on an AMD 1600+ system and it took a lot of effort to
get it up and working and never really ran as well as I think it should have
- low frame rates.

If you have any further input, I'd like to hear about it. Email [my last
name @exchangenet.net].
