Carset Woes

I have had to reload NASCAR Racing and the Track Pack twice now because of Carsets. I have (barely) 4mb of Memory. I used the original (94 cars) but have been adding others. I added a 96 set, to several others. After adding it, and trying it out (it worked), I shut the game down. The next day, I went to play and it said "Could not locate CARS. Incomplete instalation or insufficient memory (or something). " Reloaded the game, added 96 set, and played. Went back in, same error. I have had as many as SIX car sets installed at once . . . never a problem. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to reload the game? Is there a command line option to force the game to revert back to the original set, so I can adjust the sets? Please help <g> dave

you can just delete the "gameopts.cfg" file in the nascar root directory instead of reinstalling. You'll just have to reselect all your options ie. graphics, etc always make sure the ".dat" file in "nascar\cars\94cars" is 94cars.dat or the same as the directory. apparantly, after you make changes, the last carset you were using was not saved and the next time you started the game, the car set was missing or misnamed. I hope this didn't confuse you any more than you already were. I confused myself too, so if I'm not accurate, someone please add on. Mike

The problem you have is that somehow after you left the game, you have either erased or renamed that last carset that nascar had loaded. Maybe you renamed cars96 to nascar96 or something. Maybe it got corrupted. The program is looking for that set and cant find it. that's why it's doing that. make some generic carset and try renaming it and see what happens. Nobunaga
