    hi, does grid work for you guys? I always get some strange shut down without any error (process has stopped working).. google + forum says nothing except some solutions which dont work anyway. Now i just read that some build-in sound/gfx cards propably wont work.. so i wonder if the 9800M GS isn´t supported.. anyone has it and also has problems?

    Installing soon the colin mcray dirt.. also from codemaster (like grid) with the same text @requirements.. hope i wont get errors there :(

    Running 1366x768 2XAA on g50vt-X1, no problem here, check your video driver.

    Which G50VT are you using. My X6 worked fine with stock drivers.

    Drivers or simply a bad install. If your not using the real disk for the game that could be a problem.
