gary i've done all that stuff, i gave them files and spec etc, i gave them all the data they wanted, still nothing. i'm not looking for brain surgey. surely getting developers to make their programs run with xp machines is not the hardest thing in the world. i have seen loads of people with this complaint.

i've got the new patch, i've got the expansion pack, i've got xp home and pro, all the windows updates, latest drivers, everything but nothing works

i got a game commander, i'm going to try that with the sim. if this work i'll post up. if the sim works with it you can pick them up on ebay for virtually nothing.

cheers
