If you are using an audio cd with the game then make sure all applications which can auto play audio cd's are disabled. If you are using an Interact V4 Force Feedback Steering Wheel the game may start to run slowly. If so, close down any Interact helper applications on the system tray to solve this problem. If you change the hardware on your system then you must delete the following file for the game to function correctly: "\bin\lemans.ini" If you have a virus checker on your system then disable it before running the game. If the game files are being checked for viruses when opened then the game will stop now and again, especially with commentary. Make sure your desktop settings are a minimum of 16bit colour.
