I understand that "if" you bought the track pack on floppy you don't get the tracks in SVGA. I could be wrong though. Nigel of Lakewood Racing Lakewood Computers NZ

Well, if you have the floppy version of the game itself, you can't run any tracks in SVGA... but you're having the opposite problem. If you bought the floppy version of the Track Pack, that might explain the problem you're having. Sorry to send you off in another direction, but if you have the CD version of the game & track pack, I'm going to have to send you to tech support. The number is in the box.

Beppe - how much RAM do you have on your system? It sounds like you may not have enough RAM to run in SVGA mode, which requires at least 8 megabytes to run. If you've got 8 megs and still can't run, you might need to disable disk caching or something else which is reducing your available RAM. Charlie Heath Papyrus Design Group

I just ran into a similar situation myself. I was playing around with some new utilities and wanted to protect my setups, etc. So I created a new directory under the TRACKS directory and copied all of the track directories into it. When I tried to fire up NASCAR I got the same message as yours. You may want to carefully look at the files or directories in your TRACKS directory. Make sure that you do not have any files in the TRACKS directory and the all of the Directories in this directory are legitimate track Directories. Also you might want to check the track's directory that is causing the problem and make sure it doesn't have any extra sub-directories. Just a shot in the dark..... Sometimes the obvious gets overlooked.... You do have files in the problem track directories? I am including a DIR of my TRACKS directory to help out. atlanta bristol chrltte darlingt dover michigan mrtnsvil nwenglnd phoenix pocono richmond rocking searspt taladega watglen wilkes If all of the posted answers don't work, you may want to delete the Track Pack tracks (Directories and Files) and try to re-install them. But do a CHKDSK or SCANDISK first. One last thing. No need to apologize for your English. You are way ahead of me.

I also had this problem and I found that when you install the track pack it sometimes wont put all of the new track files in their proper dir. You probably need to look in the tracks dir. and see if the individual track txt files are in the proper individual track dirs.

I have been trying to find a copy of the Nascar Track Pack for the past several weeks and have not been able to locate one. A salesman told me it had been discontinued. I was hoping someone had this package and was looking to unload it. If so, let me know. I would be interested in purchasing it.

Have you checked with Sierra to see if they still have the NASCAR Racing Track Pack in stock?! -- +------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | G.
