does it drive like the classic Rush games
Well, it's not hyper-fast airborne action like the old Rush games, more down-to-earth NFS style.
I know it's a long shot but try downloading it again and installing it in the root dir of C:.
I too thought perhaps that the location of the BlitzLinker program might be the cause of the problem, but even running it from the root of C doesn't make it work. There's no installer though, just a ZIP with the single EXE in it.
I don't really want to release a demo with media files all over the place in a ZIP....
