Has anyone been successful in running NR2 with a Mach64 video adapter?  I have
tried it on my new Sony P200 and I get a rapidly scrolling display everytime I
move my mouse.  Help?

I have one in my NEC Ready 9629 and I haven't had any problems, every now
and then I get an odd flicker in the middle between turns 1 &2 but it don't
do it anymore after that. What I have a problem with is the audio, the
channels are switched left and right. So when I go by the pits or pass
another car the sound comes from the right instead of the left. Now thats
when I run it through windows 95 but in DOS it is fine.
No one can tell me what to do about it, except switch speakers, but I have
a total of 4 speakers here plus t sub wolfers. Too much work...

OH if any one knows a way to fix either problem please feel free to tell
us...

I've heard of some weird thing with the new Sony systems. Sierra tech
support probably knows something about it; you can contact them, or
have a look through the web support stuff at www.sierra.com. I don't
know anything more about it other than seeing a mention of it on an
internal company BBS...

not quite sure how much Sierra tech will be able to help. Accordibg to them
"there is no patch planed for Nascar 2." Now either papyrus is lyeing to us
or the people at Sierra are idiots.

I had the same problem, but only when I tried loading
the vesa driver that comes w/ Nascar2. If you tried loading
it, remove it from your nascar2 dir, restart Nascar2. Should
work fine. Also make sure you have the latest Mach64 video
drivers.

Try the latest Univbe 5.3 from:  http://www.scitechsoft.com
It's called Display Doctor now but it fixes a problem with the ATI Mach64
relocatible IO. It fixed my problems.
