Hi guys. I now have GTL working fine on my setup... loading bar, full XD and all. My PC however, is still not booting up 1st time and this seems to be getting progressively worse. Halfway through windows is loading screen, it all goes quiet then the monitor goes into sleep mode.... and that's all she wrote. I ran a boot log mode and got a message to the effect of "hard drive partition 2, no execute". Anyway, I'm gonna get a guy over here to re-install windows. I don't wanna do this coz it took me ages to get my Thrustmaster racing wheel working on W7. So, what is the consensus of opinion on reverting to XP as an OS? I know where I am a bit better with XP. What would be the pros and cons? I'm running an I7 processor and a G force 610 graphics card with 2gb ram and I think 12 Gb ram on the PC. You would expect a decent frame rate with this but FRAPS showed about 5 FPS at the start of a race the other day... with all graphics options turned up full tilt though.
