You need to have a mouse driver loaded when playing in DOS
mode.  Search around for documentation that's specific to the one
you're using (i.e.; MS, Logitech, generic, etc.).

FWIW, a Microsoft command (in autoexec.bat) might look like
this:

SET MSINPUT=C:\MSINPUT
LH C:\MSINPUT\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE /Q

Of course, for the above to work, you would have to have both
an MS mouse, as well as a directory called msinput.  Hope this gets
you pointed in the right direction.<g>

Cheers!

Nascar2 was made to run in windows... You need to make a batch file first
with mouse.com in it. It should boot your mouse up. That or play right from
windows. I had teh samr problem but I just played from windows

Nascar 2 will run in Windows, but it is Native to DOS, and tends to run
smoother there (DOS) on most machines.  You just need to load your mouse
driver- you can stick it in your autoexec.bat file, or load it manually
by entering DOS, changing to the mouse directory and typing "mouse."
(works with most drivers).
