TOCA Championship Racing - Windows XP
I just got the original TOCA Championship Racing. Yes the ORIGINAL Toca
circa 1998. Got it for close to nothing. I got for collecting/nostalgia reasons but wanted to take it for a spin. But I can't load it. It says "Can't install to a Win32 or NT machine." I'm running XP Home which obviously didn't exist when the game was written. Is there a work around for this besides a dual boot with 98SE? Did Codemaster ever issue a patch? Any resources still out there? Thanks Rudeboy |

Now you've got me interested.I might have to fire this game up again.
Try here http://ntcompatible.com/cdetail9664.html looks like some regediting required That site is usually quite helpful getting older games to run under WinXP or NT -- Steve H "Rudeboy" > wrote in message news:1OLve.103144$El.92787@pd7tw1no... >I just got the original TOCA Championship Racing.

also
from another site www.vogons.zetafleet.com ToCA Touring Car Championship ----------------------------- Another game that hates to be installed on WindowsXP. If it defeats you, install it on another PC then copy the game folder across. You'll also need to export the following Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Codemasters\Touring Car NOTE: before installing this key on your new PC, edit it in Notepad to insert the correct CD_Drive (CD-ROM letter), GameDirectory (where the toca folder in on the hard drive) and Install_Drive (CD-ROM letter again). Then you can double-click it to install the values! The game needs compatibility setting too (to Win95/98 to work correctly.) -- Steve H |

I tried to get it running... eventually I did but video performance was terrible because the game expects direct video access and it won't get it in a NT environment. D. |
