||| 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.

||| 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 ?
