Nascar2 w/o CD

I noticed when I went to run Nascar2 that there was an error loading the intro, but the game came up fine. Played the game, then I went to take the CD out and I relized it was a different CD in the drive. Does everyone elses work w/o the CD in the drive. Tried w/o the CD and it was functional every time. Put the CD in and got the intro. I did a full install from win95, then copied the qualify setups in manually in case it matters. On a full install w/o CD in the drive is anything missing, It didn't seem so. Also, I know that default ace setups need tweaking, but have you noticed that the ace gear setup at Tally cause the engine light to come on most of the track?? I know a quick gear adjustment should take care of it, but aren't default setups ussually on the safer side??

Not enough time to work on the setups...They set them up as best they could, but of course they had more pressing issues - like IPX, Rendition, etc... Best Regards, Marc J.

The error was that it couldn't find the video that plays from the cd. -- The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe, but the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around until he's completely draped in it. Then he'll stand up and go, "Hey, I'm Vine Man." Jack Handey. GO #2!

Yes, the sim will run fine without the CD. If you want to avoid it altogether, in your shortcut change the command line from "./n2.bat" to "Nascar2.exe". Please note that if you modem play with this set up that it will still ask the call receiver for the CD. -- -Paul Eigsti
