After installing the patch the race will no longer run using the Kopie von
NASCAR Racing 4 no cd patch.  Runs ok if CD is in drive.  Suggestions?

>Use the cd.

The clue of the no-cd patch is to be able to play N4 without a cd.
And the use of this is that it's FREAKING ANNOYING to insert the N4 cd
every time you want to play it, and that I have to click the N4 icon
5-10 times before it actually starts because of the stupid copy
protection doesn't improve things very much :(

Hm, does it work every now & then then?
I had ***y copy protection issues with 'Black & White', which is
supposed to run in Win2000, but oh no, the copy protection would see
to that it would NOT work. Works like a charm in Win95, but I'm not
used to rebooting anymore (well, only since Explorer starts acting up
in Win2K it happens again).

reliable copy protection, just DON'T please.

Yes, it works sometimes. I have to click on the N4 icon, wait a couple
of secs to see if N4 starts, and if it doesn't, I have to click the
icon again. On average I need to try 5 times, verrryyy annoying.
And I very much agree with your last sentence!!

C'mon, the physics of Tony Hawk II are great! :)
Couple of days ago I finished the game and I got access to a bonus
level called Skate Heaven. Beautifull level, very large will
everything a skater could wish for. Nice touch: in the beginning you
hear a low voice saying 'Skate on my son'.. very cool, excellent game.

Oh I like this level also :)

The best thing is when you try to jump into the Volcano and fail, the voice
will go "You suck".  There are some amazing tricks you can do with the long
ramp slide.

(some escapism from time to time, no?)

This ALWAYS happens when the main EXE is patched.

Move to the CloneCD/DaemonTools method instead.  You'll even be able to play
online.

Go into Windows Explorer if it doesn't launch and view the CD contents. If
they show different than the contents of the N4 CD open and close the CD
drive and hit refresh. Once the contents are there it should launch.

Get a new Cddrive that works with N4 copy protection and dedecate it as you
N4 cdrom drive. Solves both problems for about $25.  :-)
