You should read the "read me" file sent with the patch to get the
correct patch for your version. Ignore what date the setup.exe file
has, it doesn't help. Here's the correct way to determine which version
you have. Exerpt from the "read me" file:
Please make sure you are using the correct patch for the version of
NASCAR Racing 2 installed on your system.
To determine whether you have version 1.00 or 1.01:
1. While in Windows 95, insert the NASCAR Racing 2 CD into your drive.
2. When the Autoplay screen comes on, click on the Install button.
3. When the Sierra Installation screen comes on, Right Click anywhere
on that screen.
4. The version of the file SETUP.EXE will appear.
If SETUP.EXE is 3.2.2.0, you have version 1.00 of NASCAR Racing 2. If
SETUP.EXE is 3.2.2.1, you have version 1.01 of NASCAR Racing 2.
If you do not have Windows 95, you can check the date of the SETUP.EXE
file on the CD.
1. Insert the CD into your CD Rom drive (usually D:)
2. Type that drive's letter and press enter (e.g. D: <enter>) 3. Type
DIR and press enter.
4. Look for the SETUP.EXE file and check the date to the right.
If you have version 1.00, the date will be 11/6/96. If you have version
1.01, the date will be 11/27/96.
If the patch is run on a Minimum Installation of NASCAR Racing 2, there
are four track files that will not get updated. One relates to fixing
the pitting problems at Atlanta, and the other three of these relate
only to 4-bit rendition graphics.
Also, if you have edited the Atlanta.txt file, you will need to restore
the original version from the NASCAR Racing 2 CD before applying the
patch. This is necessary to fix AI pitting problems at that track.
