Hello,
I've just installed PCM 2007 on my laptop running Vista. I have a 1,66GHz Intel dual core processor, 2gb ram and a 1024 Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS.
The first time I ran the game I got into it and it seemed to be working fine, but suddenly it crashed and I couldn't start it again. So I reinstalled it, (done this 3 or 4 times now), now the game starts up but I only get a black screen with the red PCM mouse pointer...
Anyone able to help out on this? |

that's very strange. have you tried running it in compatibility mode for windows xp (service pack 2) ?

Have you any savegames in My Documents/Pro Cycling Manager 2007/Databse/Solo?
I know you said that you've just re-installed PCM but you might have place an old savegame back in, and it might be corrupt

My only ideas where, corrupt savegame and not re-installed the game correctly. So I don't have a clue anymore.
Last shot; have you tried running PCM as administrator? (right-click on the icon and select "Run as administrator..." then click "Allow"
That probably won't work, but it's worth a go

I did that, but I seem to have solved the problem by setting anti-aliasing to 0.
However now PCM07 crash when I try to load a stage or classic.. |

When playing Single Races, you need to use the singlerace DB. It's in Cyanide/PCM/Database. Rename OfficialReleaseSingle.cdb to OfficialRelease.cdb, and the Single Mode should work. |
