Okay-loaded onto my laptop-starts and runs fine...

I'm driving on stage. 15 seconds into stage-locks up.

I do ctrl+alt+ del, hit return, and I'm driving again....

15-20 seconds later, locks up again.

Ctrl+alt+del, return and I'm off again...

Happens about two, three more times til I finish the stage, and also happens on the menu screen.

Question-Is the 'patch' a cure-all?

I know positively nothing about having the screen res and game settings jive together. Is this where I should give attention?

By the by-it is windows XP.

I'm excited, beacuse using default setup (0 settings) and keyboarding I'm at 3.00.xx for Sweden 1-not bad!!!

Cheers,
Tannat
