have a problem...Im runnning windows 7 and when i start program it boots me off and says application has stopped working... If you never got to the loading screen/Player track, car screen, then I would say the game has not installed itself properly. Its set to XP because that is what is required to run as WindowsXp Compatible. You can set it to Windows98/me and it may work better. If you get to the spinning cars and then it crashes. You may have expanded your Video Resolution and your computer won't emulate higher resolutions the the Lowest. You may choose to set compatibility to Windows98 and Low 640 Res. Then make sure the game video controls are also set to 640. They are defaulted to this unless you changed them.

I'm having some troubles with mine too, I have windows 8 and have everything downloaded and installed but my game plays like a frame by frame image. Its kinda like a really bad lag..any tips on what to do? 1) Ok, now we know it will play on W8. 2) I have no answers for your frame by frame lag at this time. One thing I can suggest. SHUT DOWN ALL OTHER PROGRAMS!!! FACEBOOK and crap like that. Lots of progams use valueable memory. Try the tracks with 8 cars and see if it plays better. thats all I can offer now, TURN OFF ANTIVIRUS Progmas

I only have the 10 tracks. 3 of each level and the football track. I downloaded all of car packs and track packs twice hoping that was the problem.

Perhaps with your version of Windows7, it may need to located in the X86 Folder instead of the Programs folder? You are the first person in 10 years to not see the start screen.... most people make it to a car then a problem.... Perhaps, uninstall, start fresh Right below the DD&F8R.exe is a file called MS32.DLL CAN YOU SEE THIS FILE??? If not, your version of Windows is NOT allowing it to be written to teh folder. This would cause teh game to crash at load.

Delete the game files and try a fresh install.
