I have installed PCM 08 for the first time. I've had it for quite some time, but never played it. Now I decided to have a go.
First time I installed the game, I fully updated the game with newest patches and the PCM.Daily DB, also with the updated part.
When I started the race itself it went INCREDIBLY slow. I then tried to put all graphical stuff to a minimum, but still it was the same...
I decided to uninstall the game and DB and try again. This time I opened the game up from the box only, but when I start the race and move the camera (alt + curser), then it crashes...
I have tried to fully update my graphics card, but still nothing.
Any suggestions? |

EDIT:
Com system is following:
Intel Dual Core 1,6GHz
2GB DDR Ram
GeForce Go 7200 Graphics
I know it's not the optimal gaming computer for this game, but still it should be enough to play it right? |

Its not going to run terribly well with that configuration, because your graphic card is pretty weak. Your processor and ram are not great either, but they meet the minimum requirements. If your using the daily db, consider downloading the graphics simpilifier (should be in the downloads section) to reduce the textures in the surroundings. Having said that, if you've turned off all the graphical features already then i dont see how it could help much.
The crashing your experiencing could be due to a lack of memory on your system. Try closing all unnecessary programs and, even better, consider upgrading your computer  |

Nope cause I assume it only has an effect with the PCM.Daily DB... But I also have problems with the standard DB and lowest settings.

That's a wrong assumption. Try it out. |

Alright will do... Doubt it will do the needed job though, but it's worth a try. |

Same as before, as soon as I move the camera angle it completely freezes, and I get blue screen of death... No PCM 08 for me. |
