1.Do you get an error message?
2.Do you have a laptop or desktop PC?
3.If laptop - does it have a video card?
4. Operating system - windows 10?

Ok, I'll take a shot in the dark on this thing. It has to be something the computer isn't expecting, so it isn't the course. Perhaps the Skill Level (Amateur/Pro/Champ/Elite) of the player you're trying to use is incorrect. Or maybe the Swing Type (RTS / Click / PS) Check those 2 things on the player in the Links game. Post back if you find something. Thanks!

If it was the video card, yuo would be having your problem with other applications too (like your browser). There's one more thing that's more likely. Maybe a file got corrupted when Links crashed.

In your /Links 2003/ folder, choose 1 .SKY file that you don't use often. Put the others in a folder outside of /Links 2003/.

Choose a player animation that's different from the one you usually use - put the one you usually use in a folder outside /Links 2003/.

Choose a clubs clubset file that's different from the one you usually use - put the one you usually use in a folder outside /Links 2003/.

Don't leave the possible bad files in the Links directory!

Now try to play a round. I'm betting that this will solve your problem. If it does, I'll tell you how to fix it.

sounds complicated for a novice like me.I also removed the program and downloaded again from Links Counrty club so should all be new.
