This is a common problem which only seems to affect Nvidia cards with the newer drivers (I have heard that the 20.89 drivers are ok with PU). I have a GeForce4 Ti4200 myself and have the same issue. Since that card is not supported by the old drivers I have to use the newer ones.

There is a work around though. You can alt-tab or use the "Windows" key to switch windows ONLY during the "loading" screen which occurs both before and after a race. Any other time will crash PU.

Good Luck,
