I installed the Demo and then, I copied my full install of SBK 2001 over the Demo and let it overwrite and I ran it from the Demo folder and it worked.  :o

That´s right, NO CD!!!  :o I also used a physics Mod. I think you can still find it on the interweb.  ;)

Yes I did get it working on Windows 7 as well  8).  Definitely don't enable crossfire or SLI as that ruins things

Is it possible to Run it in win7 64Bit.?
Tried different compatibility modes but can't install the Game. Autoinstaller loads to 99% and then nothing Happens...
Using original cd.

I think i got it working in the end but do not remember having that problem. As i remember the "XP patch" was critical to start it up and crossfire and sli are a big NO NO but for the rest i can't think of anything else.

Think i got that patch from a site calle nogripracing.com but am not sure. Am on the phone right now so a bit hard to check it for you

I've got the Patch....but i struggle on install of the Game. The installer loads up to 99% and nothing Happens anymore.

Try copying the cd on your hard drive and then run the installer in compatibility mode.
It often works with old games ;)

Hello all,

Try to set your desktop to 16 bit

It runs on any windows OS as far as i know (tested) dunno about Win 8.1 or whatever its called these days.
But for sure on Win XP and Vista/7

Hi neo.

Hello I dont know who you are  :P but yes, i am from REG forum.
Although the good old REG forum aint the same anymore, a lot of crap going on usualy... some youngsters did pretty much destroy it  :-[

Anyway this place looks much better (mature) to me.

If having trouble in Windows 7, usually for home computing, try disabling UAC (user account control) and rebooting.

Start > Search > UAC > ENTER

Slide the bar all the way down and hit OK, then reboot.

You  might also want to give your user account full ownership of the C:\ (and all subfolders) as ownership defaults to "TrustedInstaller" which I find can cause a lot of problems.

Start > Computer

Right Click on C:\ > Properties
Click on the Security tab
Click on Advanced (near the bottom)

On the new window that just popped up, click on the Owner tab
Current owner is most likely Trusted Installer
Click on Edit

In the bottom pane (Under "Change owner to:") click on your windows username.
Check the box underneath "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects"

Click OK, and get a coffee or something as this can take a few minutes

Click yes on prompts asking to give yourself permisson to change the ownership.  There may be a few access denied errors.  Also, disable your AV before doing this unless you want repetitive stress disorder.
