Cart Racing (Papy) and Win XP - Any help getting it to work

Tried installing last night. Installed OK, but weird graphics problems when going to race. Tried Compatibility mode with no luck. Anyone else got it to work. Thanks.

I haven't messed with that at all on my nvidia card but I did get messed up colors from time to time with the V5 I had. Try different screen resolutions...in fact try dumming down your desktop to match your game screen 640x400 I think. turn the colors down and load it...then after that, if it works, you shouldn't have to mess with the desktop again. good luck. dave henrie

Hey, at least you got that far. I've got the DOS version on CD (Indycar Racing 2) which I then patched with the Windows patch and it didn't work at all. Game starts and then crashes back to XP before you see anything. "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:UW6W8.433124$352.60885@sccrnsc02...

Check out http://ntvdm.cjb.net This program will emulate DOS in a certain way in Windows so that your soundcard and USB wheel if applicable will be detected. It also MAY fix your crash to desktop problem. After installing, how to use it in a Command Prompt window: cd\icr2 dosdrv indycar -h ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Webmaster, http://simcrash.fameflame.dk

Why not have an icon run a batch file that does the same thing...? Wait - you might be too YOUNG to know about those...<g> Eldred Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett My .sig file is in the shop for repairs... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.
