NASCAR video problem

by David Sta » Sun, 07 Apr 1996 04:00:00

Since installing Windows 95 (no flames, please), I've been unable to
go more than 20 - 25 laps in NASCAR racing without the screen going
blank.  Everything worked fine in 3.11 & I'm using the same hardware.
I'm not using any screen savers, I'm booting into dos 6.22, I've tried
a boot disk, & any/everything else I can think of.

If aynone has a solution to this I'd sure appreciate it.  I just
subscribed to this newsgroup today so if this has been covered I
wasn't here to see it.

It sounds like you have the Engergy Saving Feature turned on in
Win95.  Check your Display Properties->Screen Saver.  Uncheck all of the
Enrgy saving feature boxes.
