my specs are,

 

x1950 agp Turbo Edition
amd 2800+
1gb of ram
sound blaster live card

 

and I am not using any antivirus or anything because I don't have internet on my personal computer.

 

okay, I go and click on the start icon at the desktop screen and then after a few seconds an error comes up and says:

 

GRID.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience.

 

and then below that it says:

if you were working on something that information might be lost.

 

below that has:

 

it's one of those errors that say ''would you like to report the problem to windows'' so I click don't send.
and every time I do that, that's what happens.

 

The main thing is that I wanted to know. how did the people on this link get it to work?
