IRL Heat/NASCAR Heat question

I was using a Voodoo 2 when I installed NASCAR Heat and IRL Heat. I
overcame the "white cars" problem in IRL Heat by renaming "paint.res" to
"paint256.res". Since then, I've installed a TNT 2. I tried renaming
"paint256.res' back to "paint.res' and got the white cars again. I put
it back and all is well which leads me to believe both NASCAR Heat and
IRL Heat are still using the Voodoo 2 which is still installed. I want
to keep it  for Red Baron 3D. How can I tell the Heat games to use the
TNT 2? Anybody know?

Wow, a V2, that wasn't yesterday...:-)

If memory serves me right, and I am getting old, at least t feels like
it the day after you get in bed a 4 am, anyhow, somewhere in the
properties for your V2 there should be a checkbox for "use V2 card for
D3D" or something like that, if you unchkeck that it should only run
glide stuff....

Sorry for being so vague, but it *has* been a while :-)

Beers and cheers

Thanks,  Uncle Goy. I should have remembered that setting was there. It'll be
a good way to leave it set in the current configuration. However it didn't
cure the "white car" problem in IRL Heat, so I guess I'm still looking for a
setting in NASCAR/IRL Heat. Hints appreciated.

The Paint.res vs. Paint256.res has to do with the amount of video card
memory, not the type. The TNT2 card should use the paint256.res not
paint.res sionce it only has 16 meg of memory. I belive you need a min of 32
for the game to use the paint.res
