"Driver Info" should be renamed "Back to Windows"

by Elude » Tue, 28 Dec 1999 04:00:00

I got N3 for Xmas, and just today, every time I click on "Driver Info"
it boots me back to Windows. I added an Alt. car from Freez today as
well as #32 (Scott Pruett...bah) from Joe's Drive-In. Could those be a
problem? If not, is there a patch? Or should I reinstall? Also, when I
access the Options from the Race screen (replay, info, etc.) the Race
screen is the b/g and the mouse pointer creates trails that stick 'til I
go back.

You've probably got a car that has a file name greater than the 8.3 format.
Valid car names can only be 8 characters, example dale3fan.car

Find youer offending car file then delete it, then your driver screen should
work fine...

I had the same problem when I made a car for my self. Once I renamed the the
.car file to an 8 charachter filename it was OK. Check the filenames of the
cars you downloaded and make sure the filenames are only 8 char. long.
