Not a racing fan Feldon?
Anyway. I don't know why it would lock up specifically, but the recommended driver on the hlep page seems to be 27.50

Have you tried some other drivers?
Have you installed any and all Windows Update items related to the file system and the graphics system?
Have you tried reinstalling the latest DirectX version?
Have you tried double checking your sound drivers?
Anyway. All those things are pretty generic, but got to exhaust the simple things first.
