Kiwiballs, are you able to reboot the machine and get into safemode? The go to control panel|system|devices|device manager|uninstall or delete the driver. You should download the newest driver from geforce. http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp The driver from the disk are out of date. XP updates regularly. When you try to reinstall simcity make sure you disable any virus protection or spyware. Firewall should be ok to leave active. But shutdown the others for the install. Let me know what happens. Good Luck, Tim
