Is your virus scanner up to date etc? Years and years ago I got weird problems like that and it was a crappy Windows 95 virus.

Yeah you really need something better than a keyboard to use it. Steering is pretty much impossible otherwise.
Have you tried clicking on 'custom' in the controls menu? Then you can just click on accelerate, and push x or whatever on you're playstation controller till it registers it and stores it. |

Imagine what fun I'm having with my Commodore keyboard lol! It weighs about 5 kg., and is adapted via RS232 to PS2 connector to make it work with my machine! Talk about brake fade ... no, bloody key fade ...

I'd say the graphics card is where it's at ... my machine is no hot rod ( as you no doubt gathered! ) but the one semi - decent thing I got for it was an NVIDIA ( or PNY to be exact ) 9600 AGP graphics card. It's a relatively lowly 256 mb., but makes a hell of a difference to everything: takes a lot of strain off the system.
Regards, Tony

Yikes, that IS tragic! I think it took me an hour max with our not terribly fast 'fast' broadband over here in Ireland. I think you might want to turn off other processes while downloading, and if using dial - up, get someone with Broadband to download it + burn it to disc. 17 hrs. seems extreme mind you, even with dial - up.
Assume you're using XP? Come to think of it, in W2k I'm sure I've seen "3 days 12 hours and 25 minutes" ... but then after an hour it changes it's mind to something more reasonable! Regards, Tony
