Appears to install fine, but game will not run, exits back to Desktop with no error messages, even when run as Administrator.

I have two boys and they love this game. They play it in WINDOWS XP.

Installs, but refuses to run.

Does not run. Installs fine, but refuses to run after the choice of car and player.

Finally found the answer to the infamous "_msr.exe" failure message when trying to start the game. It ran perfectly before I reinstalled the XP SP2 OS. Adding new versions of Shockwave and Quicktime didn't help. The answer? A PRINTER HAS TO BE INSTALLED OR THE SPOOLER SERVICE DISABLED!!! Who would have thought?? I found the answer here: http://ww2.focusmm.co.uk/supportresults.aspx?problem_ID=1158&ess_code=ESS482

Added Printer and now works fine.

Does not run

To the Poster of message 10800, I just want to thank you greatly for the link which was exactly the right cure for our game problem. After installation of a new harddisk and reinstallation of Windows XP we suffered the same problem with Stunt Rally as you and did not yet install a printer as we are looking for a new one. Now finally our two boys are enjoying their racing once more but for some time we had been experiecing tears and frustration....Thanks for posting the solution to this!!
