I cant run Driver anymore because i use Windows XP i think, does anyone know if there is a patch or anything that let me play Driver on XP?


PS: Sorry for my english, im Italian.

I must say, your english is perfect.

Currently I'm using Windows XP and a fresh install of Driver works fine.

I'll just ask a few more questions and if I can't help you I'll direct you to a fully working patch, although I'm not using the patched version and it works fine.

Will driver start up, and are you able to play the game?

Did you make a fresh install of Windows XP or did you do a upgrade?

Have you made sure you made all your Windows Updates?

If you haven't made any windows updates you may not have the latest components which may make driver compatible with windows xp, also if you wish to make sure your computer is fully updated go to Start ---> All Programs ---> Windows Update and perform a update.

i have that problem. Driver starts but i can't control the car. it does work without fraps.

[Alberto]

I can install driver, when i try to run it Windows says there's an error loading the .exe file.

Actually i have windows 98 too, but i would rather to not use it due to virus and such.

I upgraded my XP version, actually i have SP2 installed, and last windows update is dated 15th october 2006.

I also tried to run the .exe file as windows 98 but it wont work.

Driver is ment to be able to run on Windows XP without any problems and you don't even have to use compatibility mode to make it work.

And if you can get the exzact error you recieve, and take a screenshot of it and post it here so we can see it and hopefully help you in more detail.

and Mario, if you ever decided to get Windows Vista, driver works fine with FRAPS. But sadly it dosen't in Windows XP.

driver stuffs up on my xp even with fraps closed. it works, but there is quite a large delay in controls.

[Sedans]

thats weird, it let me play my driver and i have XP...

[madness]

As I said there are applications which can run in the background causing the delay in the controls, and yes it's a pretty annoying delay. That delay has been fixed up in Windows Vista so if you want those applications open use Windows Vista. However Windows VIsta is quite expensive.

"Alberto" we still would like to see your error messahe if you can still get it?

[Alberto]

The default error message when a program doesnt run rightly

[madness]

yeh, it would be help if you give out everysingle error message you recieve when trying to run that game, also screenshots are perfered.

[Sedans]

i hate error script--however it doesnt appear very often on my pc

im saving up for my own pc with vista hopefully these forums will work on it properly aswell

[Sedans]

dou you see that your quotes dont work, i know we've all seen this before, and i know why it happens and all but do you see you quotes like that or does it appear regular?

[madness]

It's nice to know your getting vista soon as well as you own new PC, and Vista was just released a couple of days ago as well.

Anyways, As I've said previously lseven7's isp is blocking him from this site for some reason and he has to use a proxy to access it and the proxy seems to add "/" next to the "'" and """ and this affects the quotes. Anyways I go around fixing up the quotes when I see them. And if lseven7 still can't visit this website I'd say that he should contact his ISP and ask them to check this website.

[Lseven7]

to answer sedans question, i see them just as screwed up as everyone else

i\'d like to say i was getting a new computer soon but because of $$$ it\'ll be at least 6 months

I replaced files in the installation directory with those in the patch. but this time instead of "don't send" error it says this:
I insert the CD but it shows this message again. what does this mean and how can I resolve it...

[Sedans]

[mahmood]

[Sedans]

[zoton2]

[Sedans]
