Hi everyone

This is my first time using the mailing list, so please bare with me. I have just discovered Torcs, and want to run it on my Apple MacBook Air. However, Torcs will not load at all. Nothing happens when I run it. If I have the "Force Quit" program open, I can see Torcs appear for a quick split of a second, and vanish.

I followed the Readme file in the installation package, and did exactly as I was supposed to. I installed the OpenAL framework first, then dragged the Torcs file to a 'Games' folder under Applications. 

Originally, under Security & Privacy under Settings, I had the allowable apps option set to "Mac app store and identified developers". This is a security feature that only allows approved programs to run. However, it always offers a "Allow anyway" button. I used this in the first installation attempt of the framework, and the first running attempt of Torcs. On the second try I set the allowance feature to 'Anywhere', meaning any downloadable program can run. I installed the framework a second time, but to no avail. Same result. I do not know how to remove the framework, if that is possible.

Other than the charger I had no devices hooked to my Mac while installing the Framework and attempting to run Torcs on both tries.

Here are the basic settings of my Mac. I can provide a full system report if that helps, but I don't think that is necessary. Please let me know if any of you can help out. Torcs looks like a great game, and I would really appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you.

Michael
