N4: Some serious help needed

Greetings: Here is the deal. I can get N4 to run, and once I start to race, the games bombs back to Windows. The framerate averages 8-12 usually. The same thing happens in GPL - once you start to race, the games bombs out. Any suggestions? Do not know if I need to upgrade my system, but I think i have enough to get it to work. Here is what I'm using: PIII-500 256mb RAM Microsoft Sidewinder Wheel Windows 98, second edition NVIDIA TNT 64 32mb ram card TBS Montego II sound card do I need to run in GL or 3d?

get the D3D patch from papy.com and READ the readme file. It has a few changes that will need to be made in your core.ini dave henrie "k" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zNkj6.238$[email hidden]... > Greetings: > > Here is the deal.

Okay, what do you have running in the background? Screen saver? Energy management program? Virus detector? Lotta other stuff? k wrote:

Dell Computer? Try disabling DirectSound hardware acceleration in the A3D (or Turtle Beach) applet in the Control Panel. Dell Drivers do this with GPL, not sure about N4 though. Mortado
