I am using a 32 meg Radeon, with all display options in SCGT set to max.
I tried turning mipmaps and alt. blending method on and off, it had no
effect.

Also, have you added any third party add-on's (cars, tracks), there may be a
problem with one of those. I have found when editing my own cars that if I
make a mistake in the car the game crashes and complains about one of the
track textures, not the wrong one in the car!
I have not installed any third party add-ons. I am using the supposedly
"fixed" patch from The Pits, but I was having the problem before that
also.
I really think that one of the .mas files is messed up. I guess I will
have to download a .mas file editor and go poking around in there to see
what is missing. Specifically it looks like a sky bitmap that is only
used during rainy weather is what is missing. Perhaps if I can figure
out exactly which one is missing I can just get somebody else to e-mail
it to me and add it back in myself.
Thanks for your help,

I have an ATI All-in-Wonder RADEON, so RADEON is a common thread for
you and I. This issue occurs on about 6 tracks only (I think they
were all done by the same guy.) Chatham, Sebring, Road Atlanta... I
can look up the others if you need.
Alternate solution (works for all tracks except Sebring).
Get Ban Scene and extract all the track files. In /dat go into the
xxxx4.scn the file for the track -- make a copy -- then edit out the
anim code referring to the file you just got the cube error with
(flga, etc).
This doesn't work at Sebring (but does work with the Sebring99
add-on). I haven't been able to find anyone with a fix for the
original Sebring.

Thanks for the reply. I had already downloaded Ban Scene, just hadn't
quite gotten around to trying it. Now I have a good reason. It's too
bad I can't get Sebring to work, but it really isn't one of my favorite
tracks. Too flat. Anyway I will definitely give this a try. This is
my favorite game right now, but the low res graphics are really
annoying.
Thanks,
