Im running vista Ultimate 64bit

whenever i try to run the game, after the first "screen" it cashes everytime, with the windows message:

"Wipeout 2097 / XL has stopped working, a problem was the reason to the program stopped functioned like it should, windows close the program and let you know if there is a solution."

I hope some of you can help me, simply love this game

I did the following:

# Download the version of yeldar: search for 'Wipeout 2097 download' on Google, the first link is the right one (Squakenet), click 'Where to download' and the second link. (No direct link, unless Rob is OK with that, which I doubt)

# Download the network patch and extract it. Copy the contents of the 295~24101 folder to the wipeoutxl folder of the game. When asked about duplicate files, overwrite with the new file(s).
>>>HERE it did not ask anything about duplicate files at all

# Download the speed patch and extract it. Copy the contents of the woxl_patch folder inside the 1421~44169 folder to the wipeoutxl folder of the game. When asked about duplicate files, overwrite with the new file(s).

# Rename the wipeoutxl folder of the game to wobble, and move it to C:\

# Launch the executable. You can make a shortcut somewhere else.

Thanks alot in advance
