N2 UniVBE problems

by John Linderma » Mon, 09 Dec 1996 04:00:00

I own a Gateway P-133; 16 ram; Ensoniq VIVO soundcard; Matrox MGA Storm
video card.
Problems: If I install Nascar2 without the UniVBE drivers, everything
seems ok except the screen freezes up for a second or two, about every
10 seconds.  I saw the note in the Readme file that said N2 was having
freezing up problems with the Matrox Millinium card, but I wasn't sure
if that also affected my Matrox card.  Does anybody know?  Does anyone
know how to fix it?  Do you think I need a newer driver?
Also:  If I load the UniVBE drivers the game runs fine & there is no
screen freeze problem.  But it creates another problem. As soon as I
exit the UniVBE set up screen, an approx. 2" black box attached itself
to my mouse pointer & follows it around the screen.  It then stays with
it when I exit back out to my WIN95 desktop.  It only goes away if I
reboot my computer.  It also puts a 2" black box sitting to the left of
center on the screen when using all pages in Nascar2.  This box never
goes away on the screen.  If I could get rid of this box everything
would be ok.
        I installed the game in WIN95 & am running it through WIN95.  I tried
to install it in DOS but it didn't want to recognize my T2 in the setup
menu, so I haven't been able to run it in DOS.
        Myself & others on the newsgroup have been having some of these same
problems.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to help us out? Please be
gentle...I am a newbie to all of this :-)
Thank you.
