Dirt Track Racing (Ratbag) under Win2k...?

by Dennis Cleveng » Mon, 10 Sep 2001 06:22:15

Has anyone gotten DTR to run under Windows 2000 Pro?  It runs fine on my Win98
box, but I want to be able to run DTR and N4 on the Win2k box, because of
performance issues.

Right now, when you click on the icon, you get the hourglass and it just stays
on the desktop.  You have to go to the Task Manager to kill the process, which
it reports is "Not Responding."

Any ideas?  TIA,

Dennis

no problems here for the aussie version.  just installed it after reading
your post.  Installed and ran no problems.
does take about ten seconds on my puter before it starts to load though.

Thanks Steve, I let it set for a bit and the system eventually reboots itself,
but still won't start up DTR.  I have to wonder if maybe it doesn't like my
video drivers.  I have an Asus AGP-V7700 Deluxe 5.33.  I tried to get new
drivers from NVidia, but can't connect to the site.
