N2 PROBLEM IN WIN95

I give up! NASCAR 2 will not run for me in WIN95. I have a Dell P-90, 16 megs ram, SB 3D vid card. After installing thru the install program in N2, I can only get N2 to run after rebooting to dos. I uninstalled and tried the Dos installation, still have the same problem. The game runs fine in Dos. I really want to try out Kali but with this problem I'am stuck. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem. I can run the rendition fine in dos but if I try to do it through win95 it will not load the sound. I've had a couple of people that were nice enough to help me and they did manage to help me get it running in dos but still no sound in win95. I know how you feel:)

I had a problem but I did the dos install then created a shortcut to the Nascar2.exe file using windoze explorer and now everything works fine try. Why this fixed my problem, I have no idea. mick in Tampa -- ______________________________________________________________________ | | | ____ ___ ___| | Mike Schreiner |CNSRL ADMIN. | ---\ / / /__ | |http://pages.prodigy.com/CNSRL | | --\ / /---/_ | | "Mick" on Hawaii |Earnhardt Rules!!| -\/ / / | | "Mick_S" on Ten | | / | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a Matrox Millennium and when I run N2 in 95, the colors go all wacky. Something about N2 not changing Vid Modes right. If I had to guess, I'd say you have a more serious version of the problem I have. Briefly I looked at the readme file on the CD and saw they had some problems with a few video cards. Mine was listed but the game runs fine for me in DOS and I run KaliDos to play it so I really dont care about 95. Wait a few weeks for the Vendors to get drivers out for the newer cards. With the number of postings in this NG concerning 3D , 3D Fx, and Rendition cards, I'd be willing to bet You'll see a ton of patches and bios upgrades soon. Everybody wants to be the first to have their card work perfect. Check the readme's for basic help. Consider getting a BIOS Upgrade for your motherboard since it is rather old by todays standards (ie, +1yr).

Sorry. WHen I try to load the game from windows, it brings up the dos screen, starts to load, then exits back out to windows or will lock up the sysyem.

I have the same problem regardless of how I set the shortcut properties. I did install from W95. Will reinstalling from dos fix this? I also have a bigger problem! I run in dos mode, everything is fine, then my sound quits working. I have to reboot the system to get sound working again. Any ideas on this one? Tony Joy
