Mate don't worry I had exactly the same problem, I'd run the files posted and it would ask for the BLC CD. I've been emailing codemasters and they told me to make sure I had the service pack 1 installed. Then they sent me the replacement file for the software graphics version. The file works but I didn't realise how shockin software was so I've emailed them back askin if there is any D3D files available. If you would like the software.exe file I can forward the email it's about 500kb.
