Is the Indy Car II Rendition version compatible with the new Diamond
Stealth II graphics card (Rendition V2100) ? At $79, you can't beat
the price but only if I can run ICR2...

Thanks,
Al

(from an indycar site or from Papyrus,I forget where I got it) then use an
old spd3d.uc file from ,say, Quake to get it started the first time.It will
have messed up mirrors and windshield.Then you copy the sp3d.uc from the
downloaded patch into the icr2 directory, overwriting the old one and start
it again. Then it will work properly.This is the batch file I use to
accomplish this automatically.

d:
cd \icr2
call indyfast
REM after running indyfast the first time, you just quit the game right away
del d:\icr2\spd3d.uc
copy d:\icr2\backup\spd3d.uc2 d:\icr2\spd3d.uc
call indyfast
REM the 2nd time you start it (above) mirrors and***pit should appear ok.
REM this last bit restores the original uc file to the main indycar2
directory
del d:\icr2\spd3d.uc
copy d:\icr2\backup\spd3d.uc d:\icr2\spd3d.uc

My icr2 is on drive d:.You also would have to create a icr2\backup directory
containing the old spd3d.uc file and the new one (dowloaded patch) renamed
to spd3d.uc2.
