Has anybody had a problem with the N2 Sierra setup only loading 88% of the
install files?   I can't seem to get the sierra setup to install more than
88%.
I used the same CD on My friend's AMD 5x86/133 and my old AMD 486/100
with no problems.  Please let me know if this has happened to anyone else.

With the same CPU< I had no problems with the install but I did have
trouble running the game.  It would lock up the machine after running a
half lap or so.  I didn't get this solved until I put in a new video card
(Screamin 3d) and everything works fine now.

Bolo,
  Thanks for the info.  I have no problems running the game; however, I
can't load
the patches.  I think that the 88% install has to be causing the patches
not to work.

What size hard drive do you have?  Are you installing in DOS or Windows?
Since you can run the game, I would assume that all of the vital files
are already on your hard drive.  I would try copying all the CD-ROM
files from the NASCAR2 directory on down to your hard driver.  Remember
to change the attributes to turn off the Read Only.  This should then
give you the 100% installation you need to run the patches.
