Hello RAS'ers,
Well for some strange reason my Nascar 4 online locks up in races
from anywhere to 1/2-hr to 2-hrs. I never had a lock'up before the
patch and I have no idea why it *just* started since last nite?
I have *not!!* loaded, changed nor added anything to my system
since I installed the patch & this lock'up just started. It freezes my
screen & everything in the middle it basically states: {not an exact
quote but} Nascar 4 has commited an illegal error blah blah blah
if continues contact the program vender blah blah blah!!
Please HELP!!! TIA.. A Confused {nothing new here} Thom_j.
Cheers...

Sorry your having a problem. I don't have the problem but if you want to try
a few things. Try some of these. If your overclocking the vid card try
lowering it a click or two. Same for the processor. Or try cas3 stepping. If
not overclocking make sure you have enough swap-file space on your
harddrive. That your swap-file is set large enough. It could also be heat
buildup in your PC case...try pulling the cover to see if the problems go
away. Good-luck.
Thanx for the informative re: Robert..
I think I better answer & add more so others will know my system & how
it is setup...
PC specs: Intel P3 800mhz w/abitSAR6 mobo, Asus GF2GTS'Pro 64mg
ram, OS=Win98SE, PC133Dram 256megs, SbLive sound, 3x30gig HDs
No I never over clocking anything.. My swap is 1,024,000kb...
One thing I do not inderstand Robert what do you mean by: "Or try cas3
stepping."??? Hope this gives you & others more info into my system etc.
Any & All Help Welcome!! Tia.. A 1/2-Azz Confused Thom_j. <g>

I'm assuming by cas3 he's referring to a setting in your BIOS that governs
the speed of your memory. If you have it set to cas 2 and your memory can't
handle that, backing it down to cas3 will sometimes improve the stability of
a system. (Now I hope I didn't get that backwards...)
I think your swap file is tooooo big...but what do I know. Make sure you
run enditall, a nice utility that closes down background programs, and that
might help.
good luck

my 'cache memory' but I didn't know where it was. Meaning Windows,
DOS or the Bios? Since you think my 'swap' might be too large what is
a better size?? I remember {was it John Bodin or Don Burnette?} who
had a great setup for OpenGL setting + re'setting the memory resourse
and some settings within the Bios.. Sorry guyz I forget who posted the
fantastic info!?? And it did work for me!! Again thanx for the info and
if any others have comments please post them.. Tia... Thom_j.
