NASCAR2, Win95, Setup Locks Up

Hello... I am having a strange problem with NASCAR2 which is not described in Sierra's technical documents. I am attempting to run NASCAR2 from Windows 95 in DOS mode. The intro works fine, have video and sound. The game then works ok but I have no sound. So, I attempt to use the Sound Setup Utility in DOS. It freezes up my computer everytime, before I can test or autodetect or anything. As soon as I start setup, the computer freezes. I see the options screen but it is only in varying shades of green, 16 colors or less and then I have to reboot my system. I have no problem with other DOS games. I can play wav files and my AWE32 card tests fine from the Creative test utilities. Anyone have any clues as to what may be causing this? I would like to set a basic sound card configuration but can not even get into the setup program. Does anyone have a sound.cfg file they could send me who has an AWE32 set to IRQ 5 DMA 1 HI 5? Perhaps I could use this? I have no clue as I am only loading the basic drivers and programs necessary to execute NASCAR as outlined in their technical document. Thanks so much for any help! Joel

Are you in a windows 95 dos box or are you going to shut down computer and restart in dos mode, you will need to do the shut down in order to get a more stable game

I'm having a simular problem. Make sure your running in DOS mode (shut down Win95 and restart in DOS mode). I have an IBM Aptiva M70 upgraded to Win95 and I can't get the sound working. Every other game/application I have works fine. Every time I select Sound Blaster 8 I get the same problem as you. I'd appreciate any help. Mark
