N1: Help...!

I'm having problems after re-installing NASCAR 1. Whenever I exit the game, it says "Unable to save settings file." Then when I try to run the game again, I have to go and re-calibrate the wheel (T2), change the options for graphics and sound, change driver info, race settings, control settings....EVERYTHING, just like I'm installing it for the first time. Also, I CANNOT enter the Paintkit for some reason. However, when I'm actually playing the game, everything's fine. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Jimmy

i THINK YOUR PROBLEM MIGHT BE THE FILE ATTRIBUTES, on the fikes might be set to Read-Only, depending on what sytem you, have, you do this: if DOS then attrib *.* +r, to remove read-only attribute, but first you want to see if the file is read only by typing attrib. this should cure your problem. Windows/Win95 head to file manager, and make sure all file details is selected, and if there is an r then check it's properties and change it to Archive.

The +r sets the attribute to "read-only". Use the switch -r to remove the read-only attribute. : want to see if the file is read only by typing attrib. : this should cure your problem. -- **************************** Michael E.
