Thanks!!
Can I post the results in this thread?

Of course you can, but I can tell you what the answer will be.

It is easier to do a repair install than to try to fix one by one the errors that were found.

Before the repair install, howver, run the SFC a few more time. Sometimes it takes more than one run to correct all the errors.

What do you think?
Is it worth the hassle of a 'repair install'?

 

[richc46]

Run the SFC again and see what it reports, this time.

I will give you my opinion after you give me some additional information

What caused you to try SFC?

Are you on a network?

What are your current problems with Windows 7?

Dirt 2 game crashes.
I'm not on a network.
Current problems; see screen shot.

Here is my suggestion. If you are not on a network, forget about the repair, it will not benefit you.

If you want to solve the problem with the game crash, this is what I suggest

First go to the compatiblity center and see if your game is compatible.
Windows 7 Compatibility: Resources for PCs, Devices and Software Programs

If it is go to device manager, from search and make sure that all drivers are up to date, especially the graphics. Be sure that you have the most up to date graphics card

If that is ok take a memory test using memtest86.
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Be sure you are not overheating

Finally the most important step, cross your fingers. If these steps do not work, repost and we will move on from there.

My GPU drivers are up to date.
I did a memtest86+ test when I put my RAM to spec in the BIOS>
My CPU temp is 30'-33' when playing Dirt 2.
My GPU temp is 58' when playing Dirt 2.

Make sure that the game is compatible with your OS. See prior post

Yes, it's compatible.
A previous version 'Dirt' is not.

OK. The only thing that I know at this point is the slow process of diagnosing the problem

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

You did not generate a dmp report, did you?

No I never.

OK try to play in safe mode see what happens.

Then try the clean boot see what happens.

The game usually crashes after a race, never during a race or on opening the game.

 

[richc46]

Did you check the game website for any updates?

Try the clean and safe mode boot. That will tell us a lot.

I've installed a patch the other day as informed by someone in the gaming section.
That clean boot will take forever.
Do you know what the errors are in that txt document?
