Hawaii problems (and raves)

Help! I had some problems with Hawaii this weekend (when I wasn't grinning from ear-to-ear racing). Sat (5/4) at 11pm (Central) I couldn't get into the race scheduler. When i selected the menu option (RACE SCHEDULER), the system would act like it was trying, but it would eventually re-display the menu. What's going on? What can I do next time? Sun (5/5) at 2am (Central) I tried several times to join a race but when the race 'made' and we went to load NASCAR and start practice, it hung at the Papyrus splash screen. The modem continued to flash the RECEIVE DATA light for several seconds then it too stopped and I was left with no choice but reboot and reconnect. This happened 4 or 5 times before I gave up. The one race I did get to run was GREAT! But so far my racing-to-frustration ratio is lopsided the wrong way. What happened and what do I do to fix it? TIA - Paul Challinor

Well, the scheduler not connecting problem was our fault. We had some problems with the secheduler server on Saturday. Sorry! As for the*** problem, that is what typically happens when people are trying to use Win 95 with Hawaii/NASCAR 1.x. If you are using Win 95, start your system in MS-DOS exclusive mode & try again. -- Ed Martin Papyrus Design Group

Careful Ed, that's getting dangerously close to Win-95 tech support. Just kidding!!! This is only a joke, not to be taken seriously. Matt Myers --------------------------------------------- Expressing individualism is just plain wrong. Crow T. Robot
