If having problems installing PTTM in windows 7 64 follow these few steps to get back in the game.
Only got this to work with disc version (so far) (Check Ebay/charity shops as @ moment they are @ practically giveaway prices)
1. Insert disc but do not install.
Manually open disc & look for setup/properties/compatability/tick box & set to run in xp service pack 2 & run as admin apply.
2. Double click install icon & let it install to hard drive. at this stage do not run the game.
3. Find/download 1.07 patch follow the same procedure as for setup exe. i.e. properties/compatability/tick box & set to run in xp service pack 2 & run as admin apply.
4. Run the patch & again do not start the game.
5. Got to the main game folder. computer/local disc/C:\Program Files (x86)\18 WoS Pedal to the Metal find the prism3d & again set the compatability to run in xp service pack 2 & run as admin apply.
6. Check the pttm application just to make sure it is still in compatability mode.
7. start game have fun.
