Bought it last week for £35 - can't get it to run on my PC, so I'm getting shot of it....

Offers? Don't take the p1ss!!! Will also accept swapsies (inc XBOX titles)

I can't take it back to the shop - in my infinite wisdom, I bought it from PC World

"If it doesn't work, tough ****"

Looks like a good game too

I had the same problem. Why don't you contact Codemasters? They replaced my discs as there is obviously a problem with some of them. Also, update the firmware for your CD ROM, as it constantly looks at it (until you do the no-CD tweak).

I've taken games back to PC World before. Is there a no-returns policy ?

I just go in and say, "hey, it doesn't work on my system, give me my money back."

Cheers

I had a problem with TOCA 2 but as I only paid a fiver for it I haven't bothered following up - would the firmware fix work? If so, what does it involve? And where can I get a no-CD patch?

Ta.

PS TOCA race driver works just fine...

Been in touch with Codemasters since I first got it - after a week of tech support, still no joy

Haven't got the receipt now either

tried the no-cd crack last night - crack worked fine! game still bombs out

Gonna take it back to PCWorld today with all the Codemasters emails and a bank statement (they should be able to cross-reference the purchase with the details)

Most unimpressed - gonna stick to the XBOX - PCs are sh1te

Shame, not a bad game.

Took it back and bought an XBox game (Dead to Rights) - PCWorld were OK about it as they'd seen the emails from Codemasters

Gonna look at building a new PC over the next few months - I'm sure it's not my PC, but this whole thing has shook my confidence in it

Fortunately, I don't use it for anything serious (games Internet, Email and Office-related tasks)

All my proper work is done on my new G4 Mac
