Nas2demo/Cyrix cpu incompatible?

I downloaded the demo last night and messed with it this morning and on my lunch hour. So far I haven't been able to run a single lap! The demo starts up fine and I can move through the menu's, but as soon as I click on the "drive" button, the program crashes and dumps me out to the dos prompt. I also tried the "replay" button once and the program locked up completely. Nascar1, ICR2, and GP2 all run fine. I've tried the same configuration that I use for those games with Nascar2 without success. I've also tried it with and without univbe installed. The readme.txt file says that a pentium is required. Is some pentium optimization being used that makes it incompatible with cyrix? Maybe the program checks to see if a pentium cpu is present... BTW, when the crash occurs, I'm placed in the /nascar2/rol directory. Other info: Cyrix p150+ cpu 16 MB ram Soundblaster Clone sound card OEM ET4000 video card w/1 meg tyan tomcat 1 motherboard Any suggestions? -- Pat Dotson

I forgot to mention that I'm using win95. I have been re-booting to dos mode though. Still no luck! -- Pat Dotson

I'm having the exact same problem on my Cyrix P150. What's the deal!!! -sam -- Convex Technical Assistance Center Hewlett-Packard
