I'm having the same problem - but some additional info for everyone.

I DID have simracing running on Vista (using XP Compatability mode mentioned in a posting). This worked for quite a while, although I had not run it in a while until recently. The other day a nephew came over and we could not get it going.

The only thing I can think of is I had applied Vista SP1 in the meantime.

Can anyone else confirm that they had it running OK (in XP compatability mode), until they installed SP1.

Thanks,

All,
I seem to have got this running under SP1.
1) Uninstalled and reinstalled, including manually deleting old directory to remove old gameplay settings (not sure if this helped - I just wanted a clean start)
2) Setup the newly installed icon to run in XP compatability.
3) Downloaded the new 3Dsetup for Nascar Thunder - but using the link provided above to just download the file http://www.mediafire.com/?4ntdnumdknh.
4) renamed old 3Dsetup and replaced with new one.
5) Ran simracing - going through the 3dsetup again when it came up (note, I did change the default 800x600 to the largest (14??x900).
6) Game started and ran fine for 10-15 minutes.
Note - Trying to adjust your Telemetry will lock up the game as mentioned above - This wasn't something I ever used so not sure what it's for - and I will not try it again on my Vista box knowing it locks up.

Otherwise - enjoy. Now when my nephew comes over, we can attempt the racing over the LAN (my other computer is still XP, and simracing still works ok on that box no problem - but now we can have our racing over the LAN again).
