at least it starts the game, during the game if I crash it becomes impossible to continue as I only see a blank white screen ( dust/smoke??)

thanks for your help

under XP it's a not go and no error message.

BTW I'm using the xp installation, just booting under win 7 and starting the vdrift.exe under win 7 instead of xp. so same files, same HW, just different OS
