Sorry you're having problems -- here are a few things to try:
1) MAKE SURE you used the installation option to "run NASCAR Heat from
the hard drive" -- this is a "full installation." If you did a
partial installation (that is, if you're running the game from the
CD-ROM), you'll NEVER get the IRL Heat mod to work.
2) MAKE SURE you have the 1.3 patch installed -- you can get this from
the High-Compression site (http://hc.letsgoracin.net/thesite/).
3) Make sure the "irl.car" file is in the "...\NASCAR Heat\Data"
folder.
4) Make sure the "drivers.txt" file is in the "...\NASCAR Heat"
directory.
5) Make sure the *.tex files from the paint fix are all in the
"...\NASCAR Heat" directory.
6) Make sure the "options.cfg" file is in the "...\NASCAR Heat"
directory -- if it's in the "...\NASCAR Heat\Data" folder, MOVE it to
the "...\NASCAR Heat" directory.
7) Make sure you don't have another "options.cfg" file for NASCAR Heat
someplace else -- do you have NASCAR Heat installed to the default C:\
drive location ("C:\Program Files\Hasbro Interactive\NASCAR Heat")?
If you have the game installed to the D:\ drive, then you ALSO have a
few NASCAR Heat files in the default C:\ drive location -- in this
case (that is, IF and ONLY if you have NASCAR Heat installed someplace
other than the default C:\ drive location), then you need to delete
any copies of the "drivers.txt" and "options.cfg" files that exist on
the C:\ drive (DO NOT delete the NASCAR Heat directory on the C:\
drive location, though -- JUST the "drivers.txt" and "options.cfg"
files).
Give these things a try and let me know if it helps.
