You probably have only 8MB memory. If that's the case, there isn't much you
can do, other than removing drivers etc from your win95 environment. the problem
is that icr/nascar can't get enough memory to run the sound.

Here's the problem. I installed Windows 95 and now I can't get sound
unless I use a boot disk. Is this normal or what's the problem. Please
help. Thanx
I disagree. I have 8 meg on a dx4-120 and I run Nascar all the time
with sound and graphics,just using Dos configs in a pif.
I only start cutting back when I'm trying to get more speed and better
control.

that come with Win95. You can check this by looking at Start|Settings|Control Panel|System
- Device Manager. You should see you sound/game card configured with a Device Status of
"Working Properly". You chould not have any entries for your sound/game card or CD player
in your config.sys or autoexec.bat. You should also go to the Sounds section on the Control
Panel and hear the Windows sounds. These steps would verify that your sound card is running
properly under Win95.
From here everything is easy. Install Nascar and run the Nascar setup program to duplicate
the settings (IRQ, DMA, etc) that you saw in the Device Manager (or use auto detect with
Nascar version 1.2 and above). Then create an icon for Nascar in a folder. Go to the
properties for that icon and then to the Program|Advanced tab. Check "MS-DOS mode" and "use
current MS-DOS configuration". When you execute this icon you won't reboot the PC but
Nascar will have access to the protected mode sound drivers that were loaded when Win95
booted. Exiting Nascar will bring you back to Win95 without a reboot.
