Help!!! I just bought a P-166, 32 Megs of EDO RAM, Matrox Millenium (OEM),
with a SB 32 PNP, but I cannot run ICR2!!! After a few minutes of racing
the screen either locks up, and fills with numeric codes. I have tried it
with a boot disk, with and without UNIVIBE, etc. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm, are you using EMM386 in your config.sys file? I have a similar setup and
have had no problems. However, I have a SB16 Value.

I had similar problems with my 6x86....turned out to be heat. You
could heat a small house with one of these things. That obviously is
not the problem if ONLY icr crashes and nothing else. Try deleting the
game and re-installing it, but don't forgot to save those setups
first!

The problem is probably the EMM386 line. I believe that Rick Genter said not
to use EMM386. I removed it from my config.sys file and have had no
screen freezes since. I can now run 50% length races and have the whole
replay at the end. Great for grabbing screenshots of those really
unbelievable outbreaking maneuvers!

Might want to make sure your not running Smartdrive. I know NASCAR
doesn't like it. Good luck.

All dos games seem to have this problem on my machine after a period
of time, so it definitely sounds like a heat problem. However, I do
have a cpu fan and it seems to be working fine. I will try the
household fan technique. Thanks for the advice.
