Amazingly, I've only just got around to getting this, I saw it cheap.
Anyway, I installed the game just fine (Windows version) but the game
crashes me back to desktop when I go to start a race. Is it not Win 98
compatible, or is there a patch, or anything like that? I won't go into
specifics of my system, because I'm guessing that this is common.
Thanks!

It has suprised me as very stable. I had heard horror stories of the
original patched dos-to-win95 version being very unstable. But I have run
hundreds of laps without a single lockup. I'm using win98 se. Since you
can start the program, but can't start a race, perhaps your carset is
corrupted.
Have you added new carsets? If so...you might try changing back to the
original carset first to makesure it runs. Then try adding another carset
if that works, THEN try your current carset...if the program crashes
again...you'll know why.

ok, I guess step two..did you install the dos version via windows? or are
you running the full win95 version. The shortcut should point to windy.exe
and your menus should be mouse driven not keyboard. Next...Your video card
settings may not be properly configured for the low resolutions ICR2
displays.
Make sure you go into the options and video menus and choose the 640x480
screen size. And there is a small check box for using Microsoft's DX for
video display, try running a race with both methods.
Finally, before you boot the game, drop your desktop resolution down to
640x480. These are just shots in the dark. Good luck

the Direct Sound that it didn't like for some reason (my card, a SB 1024
live)...anyway, a quick uncheck, and I'm in full 640x480 glory!
Cheers, old chap, 'preciate it!!!
