I have windows XP and I cannot get GHG to work on my comp. It says the "Error Spawning gearhead garage". So I did what most people say and change the compatability to windows 98. That doesn't work, it takes me to the black mekeda screen, then goes back to my desktop. I tried downloading all the updates, I tried downloading them seperate. Nothing. I tried downloading DirectX 9.0 B and still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

I am actually going to make a separate thread and post that, if any HONCHOS out there want to make it sticky I would be very greatful!
