ToCA Race Driver 3

Game arrived today from Play.
Have been having some probs trying to play it though, and I'm just
wondering if anyone else has experienced similar probs or if it's just
me...:-/
On trying to install it, it gets to about 70% and then a strange window
appears on the screen called 1/43 and a percentage bar appears inside it.
This bar then gets stuck at 3% (sometimes 5%) the HD flashes occasionally
and the NView app asks me if I want to terminate the program. I do so, and
installation appears to progress normally.
Now, on entering the game after all this, the menus seem to work normally,
but on trying to enter a race, Windows bring up an error box saying that
'RD3.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close', so I can't play
any of the bloomin' races...
I just winder if the '1/43 window' is some sort of texture installing
thingy...
Have been trying to install this all afternoon, and the same thing keeps
happening.
I do have the latest graphics drivers installed and I use a GeForce 6800,
which is mentioned on the box as being compatible with the game.

....and as is the way with these things, I have finally got it sorted...
Seems one of my other apps was clashing with the installer, so after
having disabled everything, it went fine.

Having fun with the karts on the oval tracks atm. Having won 1 race and
being 9th and 10th in a few others, I'm now near the bottom of the
table...:/
Ended up crossing the line minus my front wheels in a race too...

I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this game. Granted the
graphics are a bit simple of the car models, but the gameplay is good.
Some good physics modelling in there with regards to the car handling. Not
really explored much of the other race types atm.
