    Just downloaded trackmania, runs fine no additional settings applied.

    Interesting... The PC I'm using has a pretty rubbish graphics card, but Trackmania runs okay under XP, so I thought it might have a chance of working under Win7.
    My kids play TM nations on their vista x64 machines...and there was an issue getting it installed/running.
    I really can't remember the details, but the game insists on some protection...like securerom..only different...I had to download the latest version from the site ...sadly not as obvious as the TM site :(
    ...

    Yes - I had a problem getting Trackmania Sunrise to work on XP initially as it uses StarForce protection. I also had to install updated StarForce [STRIKE]malware[/STRIKE] drivers. Trackmania Nations has the same protection, but Nations Forever didn't include this (if I remember rightly).

    Oh well, the Windows 7 PC is one of six computers on my desk, so I'll just use one of the others if I get time to play Trackmania (not that I should be playing it at all at work, of course!!!)

    I suspect when the final version is released by Jan next year, you'll need to wipe again and reinstall from scratch to avoid any issues.

    I think you're right - I remember reading (somewhere on the MS website) that you won't be able to upgrade the RC to the officially released version - a full reinstallation will be required.
