ewm90, I tried to do that, but ppl told me not to unless I knew exactly what I am doing, and updating it might casue more problems.

well.. it starts up, sais the message, and I can just do whatever business I do on my comp, it crashes more frequently..... thats the only thing

ok you need to find out what Fastrak is. Go to My Computer (im assuming this is a Windows PC) and right click then go to Properties, click on the Hardware Tab and then in the middle of the screen there is the Device Maniger open that up and find Fastrak from there you can even open Fastrak propertys and maby DL drivers and such for it.
