Re: Workflow from XML to a track

Hi

You run TORCS 1.3.3 on Windows, but did you compile it yourself or do you use the binary package (if you build it yourself try the binary)?

Totally other ideas:
- Virus scanner killing files or shutting off trackgen (switch of virus scanner to try)
- Disk full
- No write permission (e.g. if you installed in programs in Windows 7, try to install in your users directory) 
- "Virtual store" of vista/windows 7 (try to install in your users directory)

Best regards

Bernhard
