I have an AMD K5-100 w/32 megs and the intro goes fine but when I start to race, it just locks up tight. Anybody got any suggestions.

Pass-up on the intro by typing NASCAR2.EXE. Best Regards, Marc Marc J. Nelson Sim Racing News - USA http://members.aol.com/simracing/

Same thing happened to me also, After the movie finished, then my PC locked up big time. The only way to get out of it was to unplug the PC. Pretty ***...... The setup screen where you set your sound card configuration is not a very good setup. You cannot change the sound card parameters without first testing it which in turn locks up your PC. The old way they did it was better.....I haven't tried running the game with no sound which is what I'll do next after building up some courage....what a shame.....

My installation problem: The sound card setup keeps locking up when I try to set it to the parameters that NASCAR I and all other sound related games use (SB 8 Mono, Port 220, IRQ 5, DMA 1). I am trying to change it because the Autodetect settings aren't giving me sound. My T1 steering wheel is also not working properly as the gas and brake map to the same control setting, regardless of what I do. I'm sure the two are related. This pedal thing is suspiciously like the original NASCAR release a couple of years ago. I just went through this a couple hours ago and haven't had a chance to investigate much. I am just pretty #%$#$# frustrated that an update to a game doesn't load as easily as the older version. Even Grand Prix II found my sound/wheel combination! Rick

Its because you are typing the wrong directory. Try nascar2 instead of mascar2. :-)
