Cart Racing (Papy) and Win XP - Any help getting it to work

Tried installing last night.  Installed OK, but weird graphics problems when
going to race.  Tried Compatibility mode with no luck.

Anyone else got it to work.

Thanks.

   I haven't messed with that at all on my nvidia card but I did get messed
up colors from time to time with the V5 I had.  Try different screen
resolutions...in fact try dumming down your desktop to match your game
screen  640x400 I think.  turn the colors down and load it...then after
that, if it works, you shouldn't have to mess with the desktop again.  good
luck.

Hey, at least you got that far.  I've got the DOS version on CD (Indycar
Racing 2) which I then patched with the Windows patch and it didn't work at
all.  Game starts and then crashes back to XP before you see anything.

Check out http://ntvdm.cjb.net

This program will emulate DOS in a certain way in Windows so that your
soundcard and USB wheel if applicable will be detected.  It also MAY fix your
crash to desktop problem.  After installing, how to use it in a Command Prompt
window:

cd\icr2
dosdrv
indycar -h

Why not have an icon run a batch file that does the same thing...?  Wait - you
might be too YOUNG to know about those...<g>
