A friend at work has Nascar 1.21 loaded on a 486DX233 w/ 8mgs RAM. 1meg
video ram. he does not have a math co-processor. The game will start up
and get a lap or to then just lock up. Is the math co-pro required to
run the game? we've turned of all of the graphics and sound etc., but no
luck. Thanks for any info.

If he's got a DX chip, it got a co-pro built into it.

After finding this info out about his computer I was mistaken. He has a
486SX33, 8meg RAM and no co-processor. Does he need a co-pro? I've run
Mem-maker with no success. I'm at a loss.

Nascar ran fine (but slowly!) on my 486sx33 so it doesn't need a
co-processor - I think very few programs do.  I did have lots of
trouble getting it to work again after I installed Win95, mainly due
to the soundcard drivers, so it could be that.  Assuming you are
running it under DOS try typing MEM at the DOS prompt and compare the
figures with the requirements in the manual.  Try making a boot disk
(as the manual describes) if you think this could be the problem.

If you have a steering wheel and pedals and/or an adjustable game card, try turning the game card down. My game card sts itself
automaticly on startup then I have to turn it down a little if I don't the game locks up after a few laps, turned down it works great!
