ICR2's Paintkit won't work for me.

It starts of with the usual DOS lines about versions, etc.

It then tests the memory, reported OK.

The screen then clears as if about to shift to the SVGA screen.

The program then appears to have complete its run, no errors or
anything reported.

I've re-installed the whole game to ensure nothing here. I've shifted
car sets, I've tried these names as parameters for the command line
paintkit.exe.

No joy! It obviously works for most people.....anyone else had this.
Anyone got any solutions?

Cheers!

Just a stupid shot in the dark...  Do you have a mouse driver installed?

To tell you the truth, I think it says 'mouse not installed' if you haven't stuck the driver on. I have  
encountered this when my car dat file was corrupt. It started as though it would work and finished as
though it had worked, only thing is... it didn't work! Download a new car file, see if it works then.
If not, one of your pcx files that paintkit needs is either missing or corrupt [sczoom, scdecal etc. all
in the Nascar\Paintkit\ directory] if you want I'll e-mail them to you zipped up!

Thanks for those ideas.....but no joy      B-(

It's actually the ICR2 Paintkit that won't work.

Followed up this idea though.....but all the .pcx anf .fnt files in the
paintkit directory are the same as those on the cd.

Hmmmmm

Any other ideas?   (anyone?)

Cheers!
