I downloaded the UniVBE 5.2 and installed it. I was wondering how I get it to work in DOS when using a boot disc for Indycar II. Should I Uninstall the current UniVBE that comes with Indycar II. The current UniVBE doesn't seem to do anything for my frame rate. I noticed when booting up the Univbe 5.2 package has a message that doesn't occur when using the boot disc and therefore it isn't active with the boot disc?? My Video card is a S3864 DXP chip set Thanks Ken

There are three commands in your autoexec.bat bat file that univbe 5.2 uses. Just copy those to you autoexec.bat file on your boot disc.

If it is still there, the game will load and use it over the installed 5.2 version. Also, you can not just copy the 5.2 driver to your ICR2 directory and expect ICR2 to load it. It won't since it is a different version. My problem is that I installed 5.2 on my Win95 machine. Since the drive that has Windows on it is compressed, I run ICR2 via a bootdisk which doesn't load the drvspace files. If I do this univbe 5.2 will not work. It says it's not properly installed. However, I still haven't been able to see any real increase in performance on my ATI Mach64 video card with 5.2, oh well -- waiting for Direct-X... -- **************************** Michael E.

Or at the DOS prompt type: CD/SDD52 (enter) then type: UNIVBE (enter). This will run UNIVBE 5.2. John
