I haven't been able to run Nr2003 for all most a year now. The menus started doing some weird things and would lock up. I'd have to restart the sim numerous times to be able to run some laps. So, I stopped running the sim and reverted back to Nr2002. Then with all the F1C mods that were popping up I've been running that most of this year. Now that I got my Momo figured out I was hoping to get my problems with Nr2003 figured out. I never patched the sim so I thought that might fix my problem. The patch crashes when it gets to the shared.dat file from the tracks directory. I don't know what happened to THAT file, but it must have gotten corrupt somehow. Anyway, I moved a few months back and haven't found the box my gaming cd's are in. I had given up on trying to get it figured out until I find my CD. I just thought I would post a request for someone to send me that file so I can get back to good oval track racing. Any help would be appreciated, Gary Beard

Well, can't play online without the CD anyway, in fact, can you play the game at all without the CD? I thought there was a no-cd patch out there, but if memory serves me, it won't run multiplayer. The multiplayer game is so outstanding that the single player game pales in comparison. I wouldn't even play if it weren't for multiplayer.

It won't connect via the SIERRA servers, but the nocd works just fine in other online situations where you connect via IP#(like most leagues) dh

Ahem.... yes it will. I race all the time with my CD tucked away in it's case. I mount the image with Alcohol 120. Willie

A big concern now is that the NR2003 cd disk has become quite rare and very expensive to replace. Can anyone post step by step details on how to correctly setup nr2003 for online play without a cd? TIA.
Simple, don't log on to Sierra servers :) I think you can race direct IP without the CD. gordo wrote:

Forget mounting the ISO. I could never get it to work. However, way back when the game first came out someone made a no-cd patch that worked both online and offline. You can connect just like you do with the CD. There are a few websites who are now posting it.. Can't tell ya where. sorry.. Don't what the big guys getting mad. Just start searching as many NR2003 sites as you can. Yahoo groups is a good place to start. "gordo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:R3Nmf.2867$[email hidden]...
