I have a problem when I run Nascar2 in windows95 every so often I get
periods of 2-3 seconds choppiness. I have a cyrix 166 and 32M ram and
diamond stealth with 2mb DRAM. Any suggestions

Not to sound like a s.a., but don't run it in Win95.  Something about Win95
polling the system every so often?????

 I had problems using the icon created by yhe game after doing an auto
install, so I uninstalled and installed from dos, then created a
shortcut to the nascar2.exe and it works fine, I guess i'm running
around 25 fps with skids,smoke,car textures,wall on. I was hoping for
better, but the game is a big improvment in so many other areas Ill
stick it out till I build my next computer, c'mon MMX.

I was told to make sure the screen savers are turned off.
My machine was locking up during the game and when
I turned off the screen savers things seem to be doing fine.
