Folks I just bought this pc and was playing nascar 2 and my joystick just
quit.....  The game wont even let me calibrate it again, or set up the
buttons for it....When I try to calibrate it it moves the little red dots
all over the X and Y spectrum....I loaded up just nascar 2 and the BGN
track pack....I thought it might just be the joystick, so I went and got
another one, but it still did it.  My question is " Is it the game?" or the
computer(The stick calibrates fine in the windows control panel...just not
in the game)  I ran all the patches that came with the NASCAR2 BGN track
pack, so I dunno what is wrong...If you can help me please email me.
Thanks

Just a suggestion, but it works sometimes....  Delete the calib.val and
controls.cfg files in the main NASCAR2 directory.  When you run the
program again these files will be recreated with the default values.
Now try to calibrate your joystick and reselect their functions.  Are
you running inside Win95 or in pure DOS?  Does this happen in both
situations or just Win95?
