My problem

Here we go again. I stopped racing N3 and wasn't in a real hurry to get N4 because I knew something would go wrong. I guess curiosity killed the cat and I had to get it and can't enjoy it. I don't know what it is, maybe cd rom drive, but maybe it is because I don't understand why they would sell a product that would not work. Everything we know we have tried and no success. Updated drivers, reinstalled game, reinstalled directx, reinstalled drivers for everything and still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated again. Here is what I have: Pentium 3 450 128mb memory Voodoo3 2000/AGP 16MB Creative labs Sounblaster Live CD-RW 4224 Here s what I get NASCAR RACING 4 caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff87ed6.

I know the Kenwood thing. I bought it with Soundblaster Live. Where do I find the manufacture? Dave Henrie wrote:

If you bought it with the Live, then I'd guess it's a creative labs product as well. If you know where the windows system manager is, check that for a listing for your cdrom. That should have all the info you need. I'd also surf over to the Sierra forums at: http://community.sierra.com/ choose the N4 group, you'll probably get a faster response from the Papyrus tech guys there. So far from what I can tell by reading in this newsgroup, Some cd rom burners have problems with the copy protection included with N4. If thats the case, you will have two options, go buy a new cdrom(about $50) or return N4. Good luck. dave henrie all the info "Mark Bittner" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You can get 40x CDROMS for around $25-30 now. Get one of those and keep the CDRW too. "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bZvj6.436658$[email hidden]...

Here is what I have: Come to think of it, that's the exact reason I did NOT get Rally Championship. Somehow that CD won't work in my Mitsumi CD/RW. Tried two different copies. Exchanged it for Colin McRae 1 (hey, this was a couple months ago) --KC

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** N4 wouldn't run in my system with the mere presence of my HP 9200 SCSI CD-ROM drive. I had to move it to my server to get it out of the way, and then N4 would run. -Larry "Lannie Schafroth" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:96m9e9$78u$[email hidden]... > You can get 40x CDROMS for around $25-30 now.
