I finally got NASCAR to run from within Win95 and nt having to exit out
to DOS mode.  But, I do not see any difference in the quality or speed.
Now I am running on a P120 with 24mb of memory.  

What you need to do is create a shortcut for NASCAR.  Click on the
shortcut with the right mouse button and choose properties.  Then
choose Program, Advanced, and put the check mark in the box that says
prevent MS-DOS bas
ed programs from detecting Windows.

This will get it to run but one caution, it may not completely run
right.  I have had a few problems with it locking p in the middle of a
race.  But I am running an original 8bit Sound Blaster card so that
could be part o
f my problems also.

Good luck.


I do not get here often so replying here will not get a fast response.

Thanx, Doug Compton
