Keep getting pop up box when starting game saying: Porsche.ICD has
encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
It gives me an option to send an error report to MS. I've tryed setting it to
run in Win 98 mode but still no luck. It's a great game and this new pc with
XP is killing me in one more way now. Help anyone please!
