Anyone else having a problem getting NASCAR, IWCC and Win95 co-habitating? Win95 and NASCAR (with and w/o the Track Pack) get along OK, but the IWCCCARS car sets send everything down the tubes! I really miss racing against Dale, et al. and would appreciate any advice (other than FORMAT C:) you may provide. Thanks

I really miss racing >against Dale, et al. and would appreciate any advice (other than FORMAT >C:) you may provide. I haven't had a problem. Usually I run NASCAR in DOS mode because (IMHO) the joystick calibration in Win95 sucks. I have managed to run it in a DOS session under 95, but I found the cars were too twitchy to race (I kept tapping other cars, and shortly thereafter found a wall). Unfortunately, I removed it when I moved from the betas to the release version, so I can't tell you what my pif settings were....I think they were basically protected mode memory and prevent dos app. from detecting windows. For dos mode, it was just (literally) shut down to dos mode, and run NASCAR. The IWCC car set worked, as did the BGN one. Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Mitchell Carleton University http://travel1.travel-net.com/~starfury/cobraone.html We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner Holographic demons and invocations of equations These are the tools we employ, and we know...... ....many things -- Elric [Babylon-5 "The Geometry of Shadows"] ----------------------------------------------------------------
