TRACK PACK Trouble: Won't work with Matrox?!

Hi, everyone! Would anyone know why my Track Pack (bought the disk version from a friend) won't work with my version of Nascar that came with my Matrox Millenium in SVGA mode? If I use the regular NASCAR.EXE that comes with the Track Pack, and runit in standard VGA mode, I can use all the extra tracks, but if I use either that executable, or the one that comes with my Matrox, in SVGA mode, then I cannot use my extra tracks. The tracks appear in the menu, and I can select all the tracks that come with the game, but when I move the menu bar over an add-on track, it does not show the picture of the track, and when I try and load it, it gives an error. Any clues on this one?

That's a no brainer. Disks=VGA CD's=SVGA It's like buying a 3.5" Nascar and buying the CD Track Pack (Like myself). In order to get SVGA, you have to have CD's. -- Kenneth http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/1517/

Another problem with my Matrox set-up; the track pack loads and installs fine, but locks up at Pocono, always coming out of the third turn after a couple laps. Happens in season or single race mode and on qualifying as well. Any ideas?

Not true, the svga is in nascar.exe, I have the track pack on 3.5" disks and svga works fine. I can't tell you why the Millenium doesnt work though. I originally installed the matrox version in a seperate location and then just copied the extra track and car set directories into the new location, and everything works ok. Maybe give that a try ????
