I seem to encounter a program crash every time I run converted pocono with
ICR2.  It usually happens just as I come out of 4 onto the front straight.  
has anybody else had this problem, & is there a fix for it?  please email me

Thx

To all,

Glad to see I'm not the only one that has seen this problem. I know this
problem was brought up along time ago but here is what is going on.

I have the same problem with Pocono as does Dan. What happens is when
you come out of turn three only in SVGA mode with all details on, it
starts to draw a portion of the crowd off to the right which looks
distorted in the first section of stands. By doing this, it crashes my
computer also. I can get this to happen every time I start a race. The
only way I found is to turn off the crowd detail or the stands itself.
It does this in both Nascar1 and INDY2 conversion. My friend and I dont
even race INDY2 version of Pocono anymore via modem because of this bug.

I may try to unpack the INDY2 version Pocono and see if adding the new
3D enhanced crowd1.M16 file still causes the problem. I like racing that
track in INDY2 if it wasnt for that bug.

It must have something to do with the crowd detail. I never have the
crowd on (I run a p90 with old video card) and never have a problem.

I get the same problem but only when I'm using arcade mode.  Driving with the
in-car view seems to prevent this from occurring on my system.

Do not load EMM386 and you can have any details you want on, that the
problem does not occur.
