Have him check the name of the .dat file that was unzipped. For example, if it was "multicar.dat" he will have to name the directory "multicar". If it's named anything else, he'll get the "can't load cars" message. Try that and see if it works. CR

Richard, For the problem of ins mem, go to gameopts.cfg and change the car set name to an actual carset you have installed. Like cars96. Apparently you don't have the car set name just right. The game is trying to read a carset that is'nt there. hope this helps. Wally > I can get on hawaii fine but my buddy keps getting "improper or illegal car > set" errors.

Had this problem before....go into your nascar dir and delete the gameopts file then start the game, everything fixed! What causes that is the car directory name and the name of the .dat file in the car dir has to be the same: example cars94 cars94.dat Hope this works for ya Blake
