That's weird, after the patch mine works - as long as I choose
software cursor.

D3D.  I don't think OGL is playable in N4 with the V5.

Other problem I have is after patch N4 only runs once per reboot.  In other
words, if I play N4, exit the program, I can't start it up again until after
I reboot.  I used a no-cd fix before patch and now keep the cd in their so
this may be Sierra's CD protection giving my cdrom drives fits but I've got
3 different CD-drives (50X Kenwood, DVD, CDRW) and all 3 suffer from this
issue.

Why does 50% take 3-4 hours?  The real races aren't that long...

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

That's my point.  I can't tell you why it takes so long other than maybe all
the yellow flags before the patch.  Haven't tried 50% since the patch to see
how long it takes now.

Yellow flags caused by you, or 'random' AI yellows?  Big difference...<g>

Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.

Don't be silly, of course none of the yellows are my fault!  Sheesh!
