Hmmm, very strange. I have the Millennium and do not run Display Doctor and have seen no such problems with with the Nascar2 Demo. I have the 2 meg Wram version of the Matrox. George

U had the same frustrating problem here is how I fixed it.This might be a real stupid way of doing it I don't know. Anyway I downloaded sci-tech display doctor and installed it. It screwed my pallette in windows up but the demo worked great. So I unistalled it and deleted all the calls to in my autoexec file. Now all I do is switch to dos chang the directory to the on the display doctor is in and type univbe and it works. Also when I re-start windows my pallette there isn't all screwed up. Hope this helps Mick in Tamp

I have the 4 meg version of the Matrox Millenium and it ran NASCAR 2 demo on my PPro 200 without any color or pallette problems either, strange indeed. JEB

I don't have a Matrox, I have an stb128 w/et6000. Sorry for the confusion but the problem sounded similiar to the one I encountere Mick in Tampa
