How can I set a resolution & refresh rate in Nascar Heat at startup ?
When starting the game, it goes into an unsupported refresh rate and I
can't play.  System it P3-866 with DirectX 8.0a, ATI Radeon 32mb DDR &

   I really don't know about that.  One of NH's basic tenents was to use the
default windows enviroment.  So Multiple joysticks didn't work because
windows joystick app didn't see them as one unit.  Stuff like that, so I
would assume the graphics followed the same pattern.  Try changing your
desktop to a lower refresh...like around 80hz and see if that helps.  Also
set your desktop to 16bit color and 1024x780.  If you use different settings
than that, you can always reset them once you get NH configured.  Good luck.

ps...try the High Gear forums, you might catch the eye of a NH delveloper
there.

First of all, use 16 bit colors and/or lower your desktop refresh rate in
Windows. See if that helps. If NH is anything like GPL it will sometimes use
the 'optimal' refresh rate anyway and***things up again. In that case
download HZTOOL from www.passagen.se/doxx and force NH to use the refresh
rate you set.

Good luck,
Leo
