Bizarre problem w/NASCAR race game

:     I'm having a bizarre problem with NASCAR Racing (the 1994 version).

:     After installation, I set up the sound card, then run the program.  I
: see the track and cars, hear the announcer and music.  I push "enter" and
: get the main menu, and use the cursor keys to move the yellow highlight.
: When I push enter again, the highlight changes to white, and nothing more
: happens, even for "exit".  It's not totally hung, as the cursor keys still
: move the cursor, which then goes back to yellow.  But the only way out is
: a reset (Ctrl-Alt-Del).  I'm using standard (640x480) resolution.

:     Sierra software support said to check for two game ports.  I pulled
: out the sound card, as it has a game port.  

  Found a solution, of sorts.  Doing the opposite, I enabled BOTH game
ports. !!! The thing started working!  It isn't a full answer, but it's
working.  By copying over different .CFG files, I can switch between stick
and keyboard control.
