I plan on getting at least 128 when I upgrade in a couple months. But until then I am stuck with 64.

For some reason the game wont let me race at Dover. It crashes everytime I try. Michigan works just fine but unfortunately, superspeedways dont do a thing for me, especially Michigan. I realize that Dover isnt exactly a short track (which is what I really like), but it is closer and I think it would be alot funner. Itll get as far as the garage/replay/race screen but when I go to race it starts to load, then the sound stutters (michigan does this also), and then it crashes to the desk top. my specs are these: Celeron 400 voodoo 5 64 mg ram yamaha sound card any one think of any thing?

Wasn't 128meg ram a requirement, maybe that has something to do with it? In article <90670v$frm$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote: > For some reason the game wont let me race at Dover.

I dont know , I havent seen the requirements anywhere. I hope that is not it as I would like to race Dover. But, that would probably explain it.

Ok, that's why I never saw it. There wasn't a readme in the zipfile, and the install crashed. I just tried it again on one system at work. It has an ATI 3D Rage, and a Pure 3D(Canopus). I tried both D3D and OpenGL. The openGL locked up(which I expected). The D3D said 'cannon start the selected rendered'. I tried both 800x600 and 640x480(which locked up again...). It just ain't happenin' on these systems. I could probably run it fine at home, though(K6-3/400). But, I don't know how(if) it would handle a full field... :( Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +45.45 Never argue with an idiot.

Looking around the various posts I see that alot of people have 64 mb RAM and it apparently works fine for them. Hmmmmmm. What the hell is up with my Dover? Oh well. Maybe I will try a re-install.
