TT & PR..... try copy and pasting your XD dll and config files from you working GTR2/P&G install, it should work (if you use the new XD there) ? it may cover up some of your race 07 hud, you can fix that in you config file.
That was my first alternate move but it doesn't work.
Will try to join today for the race.
It's also strange that after I installed GTR Evo I have defo changed sound output. Normaly works in playing music etc. on desktop / via Media Player and similar programs but has impact on TS (2 and 3) - can't hear anything - and on GTR2 sounds - car sounds, pit effects, off road, etc. Though this may also be just because of lower output of mentioned sounds. Bummer.
All parameters read ok and system settings were not changed. Will try to take some hardware apart / try alternative solutions before I succumb to panic.
Btw, antivirus and antispyware find nothing.
Must say after some laps in GTR Evo it was much harder to go back on GTR2 (GC race) but after a few laps I fell back in. In my view GTR Evo is defo a step forward, just have to find the right stuff / cars / tracks / mods to race here.
