Hello
Its easy to fix once i figured out why it happens, in fact most of the problems to do with XP and old games start with graphics
First, download the patch from http://support.lucasarts.com/trg/xp/swep1racer.htm and install it
Then, go into your graphics card setup, find the button which allows you to tweak your AA (Anti Aliasing) to the maximum (Mine is set at 6x)
Then, play the game! Sorted, works like a dream
As a side note, for problems with word 2003, scrolling and not being able to see pictures in documents, just turn off all your graphic accelartion and the problem goes away
Seems the culprit could be DD9
