I have Nascar v1.21 ..1.2something anyways, my problem is sometimes when exiting Paintkit all the text on my screen is HUGE and it turns kinda a sickly orange.. is this a problem for others? and is there a patch just for paintkit? anyone that has an answer I'd appreciate it, thanks in advance!

I've run into this problem several times after compressing my hard drive. I think it has something to do with the compression and trying to read the file, I get this sometimes during a race too. Before I compressed my HD I never had any problems. I just live with it and at the DOS prompt type 'MODE 80' to return to the smaller text. Sorry if this doesn't help but it works for me. -- Mike Walker

Thanks Mike.. I was unaware of the "Mode 80" command at the prompt, NASCAR is on a compressed partition.. didn't even think to mention that but thanks again. Keith Heymann
