I installed in direct 3d mode the game starts and i do all the configuring
but when i go to race i pull out of the pits and the computer freezes
with the sound still running and i have to turn the machine off
i have an amdK6-2, Riva TNT and a SB Live Sound card
any ideas? i run most games on this machine without a problem
Thanks

I have the same problems with a Creative Labs Banshee and a Pentium3 in
glide. Although I can run the game all day in D3D. I have done everything I
can think of. Reinstalled N3, installed reference drivers for the video
card, ran the beta version of GLsetup,reinstalled the video card, you name
it I've tried it. I have yet to finish a race in glide mode(25% length). The
strange thing is I have no problems with ANY other
games.Q2,Q3,Halflife,N2,N99,GPL,NFS3,Tomb3,Sim City 3000 all run and run
well. Run it in D3D you say, well it doesn't look nearly as good and it
kinda stutters a little when you run up on a bunch of slow cars in heavy
traffic. Does anyone have this problem? Any ideas? PLEASE!!

  First idea, just as a test.  Open the case and point a fan at the
innards.  If it keeps running then you have a heat problem.  If it still
locks up you have either a driver/bios/resource/hardware/software
problem.  Hope that narrows it down some ....
