Anyone else having a problem getting NASCAR, IWCC and Win95 co-habitating?

Win95 and NASCAR (with and w/o the Track Pack) get along OK, but the
IWCCCARS car sets send everything down the tubes!  I really miss racing
against Dale, et al. and would appreciate any advice (other than FORMAT
C:) you may provide.

Thanks

I haven't had a problem.  Usually I run NASCAR in DOS mode because
(IMHO) the joystick calibration in Win95 sucks.  I have managed to run
it in a DOS session under 95, but I found the cars were too twitchy to
race (I kept tapping other cars, and shortly thereafter found a wall).
Unfortunately, I removed it when I moved from the betas to the release
version, so I can't tell you what my pif settings were....I think they
were basically protected mode memory and prevent dos app. from
detecting windows.  For dos mode, it was just (literally) shut down to
dos mode, and run NASCAR.  The IWCC car set worked, as did the BGN
one.

Hope this helps.
