Rebooting to MS-DOS mode and running it.
Running it in a DOS box in Win98.
Running both the CARTFAST.BAT and CARTREND.BAT
Setting the .BAT files to reboot to MS-DOS mode and run the .EXE
Installing the ICR2_V2K patch.
Trying the DOSV2K patch.
Trying the INDYFIX.BAT swapping trick.
The system that I'm running on is a K6-3 450 with a Diamond Stealth II
S220 card (4 meg PCI, V2100), FIC PA-2013 mainboard, SB Live! Value card,
192 megs of PC-100 memory, and a 3COM Fast Etherlink XL 10/100 NIC
w/bootrom.
I'm thoroughly stumped.
The best that I've managed is to get the Rendition Redline logo
(RR.EXE???) to display, then I get a bar of messed-up colors across the top
of the screen. I've waited at this stage for 3-4 minutes just to see what
might happen (as I've read some messages that seem to indicate that the
INDYFIX.BAT method can cause the system to sit in a seemingly stalled state
for awhile). to no avail. I'm at a complete loss. I've loved playing this
game for years, but I really wanted to see it in all of it's Rendition
glory. The only thing that I haven't tried yet is re-building one of my
other systems to be a DOS only box and installing it there. Though I don't
think that's necessarily the problem.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

1. Get one of the 2nd generation Rendition fixes from Bjorn's 3d world
(www.bjorn3d.com). I think it was V2kFix. This alters your Rendition
executable so it doesn't ***when it looks for only a V1000 card.
2. I've read and found successful the following procedure: boot in
DOS, run the executable, quit it, run it a second time. It seems like
it needs the second start to properly initialize.
Good luck!
PS - Some recent versions of CART Racing don't have the Rendition
executables included (even if they say so on the box!) :( This
doesn't seem to be a problem for the original poster, though.
