Title: Please help.
Post by: VRT_Moto on August 30, 2004, 10:57:59 PM
Ok.. I'm sure this has been talked about several times..but I didn't want to dig for the topic. Anyhow, I'm running windows XP with MCM2 on my H: Drive. I has become very frustrating, everytime I start a race off line I get kicked to the desktop just after leaving the starting gate. I re-enter the game, and same thing. Usually at the same point too.

So my question: Anyone have some ideas? maybe change a setting? This was happening a lot when I had windows media player kicking my tunes.. but I tried it without it running, and same thing.

Maybe try putting the MCM.exe that's on your Desktop in WIN98/ME Compatibilty mode, if you haven't already - right click on it and choose Properties. What else have you tried?

Thanks Maui,

I have had it set to Win95 compatiablity mode.. but what I recently did was change my desktop wallpaper to "none" and it seems to work fine. Not sure why that would affect anything, but so far so good.  :D I'll keep you posted if it keeps up.  Lately tho my machine has had a mind of it's own.  (problems occur when no one is around, then it behaves when they are)
