CThis demo installed OK, but crashes on start up. I get the following
message : trl.exe has encountered a problem and needs to clos etc.

On clicking on "click here" for info I get this :

Error Signature : AppName : trl.exe AppVer 1.0.0.0 ModName :
kernel32.dll
ModVer : 5.1.2600.2945 Offset : 000ee1d6

I have found a few threads on various forums and have all the latest driver
(video, soundcard) plus the latest Dx9c etc. All XP updates. Tried
unplugging the USB Game device as was recommended, stopped the AntiVirus and
Firewall etc.

Still won't work.

Anyone have other suggestions ?

Cheers,
Jerry
