Help!  I had some problems with Hawaii this weekend (when I wasn't grinning
from ear-to-ear racing).

Sat (5/4) at 11pm (Central)  I couldn't get into the race scheduler.  When i
selected the menu option (RACE SCHEDULER), the system would act like it was
trying, but it would eventually re-display the menu.  What's going on?  What
can I do next time?

Sun (5/5) at 2am (Central) I tried several times to join a race but when
the race 'made' and we went to load NASCAR and start practice, it hung at the
Papyrus splash screen.  The modem continued to flash the RECEIVE DATA light
for several seconds then it too stopped and I was left with no choice but
reboot and reconnect.  This happened 4 or 5 times before I gave up.

The one race I did get to run was GREAT!  But so far my racing-to-frustration
ratio is lopsided the wrong way.  What happened and what do I do to fix it?

TIA

Well, the scheduler not connecting problem was our fault.  We had some
problems with the secheduler server on Saturday.  Sorry!

As for the*** problem, that is what typically happens when people
are trying to use Win 95 with Hawaii/NASCAR 1.x.  If you are using Win
95, start your system in MS-DOS exclusive mode & try again.

Careful Ed, that's getting dangerously close to Win-95 tech support.  

Just kidding!!!  This is only a joke, not to be taken seriously.
