I made a boot disk for Nascar 2 to run in DOS and everything works great except for one thing- the volume is very low and I can't increase/control it with any of the controls in either Win95 or DOS. I went to Blaster's web site and I saw a CTLOAD.COM which is supposed to load your cd-rom when you re-start your computer in Win95 DOS mode. I don't use that path so I'm wondering if it would be any use to me anyway. The sound works properly under Win95 but the game locks up due to a mouse conflict and that's why I made the boot disk. Should I add some lines to my boot disk--

When starting the game with my DOS boot disk it has a message just before the prompt for the CD. appreciate any help you might lend me. Thanx in advance!

Don't bother with the utilities...The low-sound is part of the sim. You'll need to adjust (lower) the spotter's voice level in order for the other sounds to pick up. One of the things that N2 lacks is that earth-shattering rumble as in N1. :( Best Regards, Marc Marc J. Nelson Sim Racing News - USA http://members.aol.com/simracing

Hello Fellow Race Fans, I got a good idea that shall and will work. It may take about 1-4 weeks depending at the pace I will go at to do thius idea. I could post a new version of all the sound files with a increased volume of 100% + of volume increase for the game. Would you all like it? If so i will post the file in the SPEED Page. I will put a post here when the file is done and posted somewhere. So whatch out on a sound fix soon. -- Sincerely, Mark Come and visit the page SPEED!!!!!

Yes it's me again with bad news. As I found out that you can't change the file in size, you can't change its information. If its the same size or not, it can't get changed as i expected it the way it should of. Oh well, that project is said good bye. Sorry, but I can't figure out N2 at all. :-( -- Sincerely, Mark Come and visit the page SPEED!!!!! Has great Utilities, Setups, Cars, Links, and more!

I had the exact same problem. It worked only when I stopped rebooting to DOS and ran it straight out of Win95. Weird. Seems to work okay, though. Good luck.
