what does it do? can you race single races? does the game lockup?

Hopefully with some more info someone will have an idea for you. :)

Cant help with out basic hardware specs, mainly what video card and what driver you have for it.

why would it be a hard ware problem? The other parts of the game work fine. Where would I find out what my video card and drivers are?

I don't have a clue right now what the problem is, but every bit of information helps.

Start > Run "dxdiag"

will give you a bunch of info about your system, maybe that'll tell you something...

Try downloading the most recent drivers from the manufacturer's site for you graphic card.

Try also un-installing and re-installing the game (did you ever patch it with some downloaded file?).

It's very strange that you can't do the evolution mode, maybe a corrupt file in the game because hardware specs and requirements are the same as for quick race and factory mode.
