What Operating System are you running? was that message received when you tried to reinstall the game? or did you uninstall the game and then install it again?

sorry...win98. This was the message I got after uninstalling and then reinstalling

"F1 CHALLENGE 99-02 caused an invalid page fault in
module F1 CHALLENGE 99-02.EXE at 0167:00555e65."

Everything installs ok but when I go to run the game I get that message!

It could be a system fault, try Start|Run|SFC.exe /SCANNOW to verify your system files are not corrupt or missing.

Ok I ran SFC.exe and it replace 2 files. It didn't make a difference to my games. Still comes up with the invalid page fault error.

Hmmm, could be some bits of the old install clashing with the new, did you delete every trace of the game when you uninstalled? (Program Files|Temp|Registry)


Just out of interest is this a CD, or are you installing it from a/some file/files already on the computer?

I tried to delete everything I could find (Program Files|Temp|Registry), but I'm not an expert in these areas, so there could be something there I'm not aware of. Yes The games are on cd, except for the gtr demo which is a zip file / .exe.
