Win98SE
AMD 1600
512 Ram
GF3 TI 500 (21.83 drivers) or GF2 Ultra
Open GL or D3D
DX 8.1
All updates done to OS & chipset drivers
Nothing seems to get me going, it locks up after calibration or shortly
there after.
Any suggestions?
I have done everything but reinstall the OS.
ALL other sims/games play fine.
Frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I run Daemon tools, virtual CD. It appears when my install was trying to
verify during the initial start-up it couldn't find the CD amongst the real
CD drives and the virtual ones.
I removed Daemon tools and my problems disappeared. I looked in the registry
to try and point it to the correct drive, but there was no entry for what
drive it was installed from. Must be some kind of CD check/verify. You would
of thought it would say "please install the N4 2002 CD" rather than just
lock up, but I guess that's too easy for papy/sierra. What did I expect, a
working sim for $50.00????
Oh well, got it working. Just tinkering now to get the sounds and framerates
where I want them.
Thanks,
Scott

I've found that NR2002 will lock up, guaranteed, if trying to use the ISO
Image I made of the original CD and DaemonTools. This leads me to believe
that the Copy Protection has been changed and is more invasive than ever.

They have changed something in the Copy Protection and it's tripping things
up :(

it's just another salvo in the war between the publishers and the
crackers....unfortunately, we the users are merely collateral damage caught
in the crossfires...
(how's that for trite, timely, cliched, commentary???)
