I just bough nascar 2, should I install it in DOS or WIN95? I have a Dell Pentium II 266, 64mb EDO ram with ECC, and Matrox Millenium II w/ 8mb WRAM.

Install it under Windows 95 -- that doesn't stop you from running it under DOS if you want to. -- Home Page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/9740 Last Updated at 6:04p on 08-31-97

It really doesn't matter as it installs the same version either way. Some have had problems with Sierra's install program overwiting a DLL needed by Internet Explorer, so the DOS route might be the safer way. After it's installed, go over to Sierra's webpage and download the patches you'll need. You also might want to pick up the 97 cars. There are quite a few places to get them, but I'd suggest IWCCCARS: http://www.theuspits.com/iwcccars -- http://ebusch.akorn.net

Wow I never heard that they knew what it was that screwed IE up. I believe re-installing Internet Explorer 3.01, 3.02 or 4.0 will fix the problem. Re-installing IE 3.0 which was common when the game was released does not fix it. Also, this is another example of how a program can break your system (filghtsim people will get the connection). BTW, all you have to do is simply RUN the Win95 Nascar2 install program. Even if you cancel out and install nothing your IE is hosed. I use the DOS install & run the game via DOS. You can still use the modem and connect to people with the Win95 installation. And by all means get those cars Eric mentioned. Those guys did a great job. -- Header address intentionaly scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. > Internet Explorer, so the DOS route might be the safer way.
