Andretti Racing

I installed the damned game SIX TIMES and tried a VARIETY of paths, directories, even including the default and still got no decisive results: still getting prompt to put that damned cd rom back into the drive. I have NEVER had any experiance like this before, I returned the game. Good ridduence.

Just a quick one any one having problems running andretti racing i have intsalled it ok, but when i try ro run the game it says please insert cd in drive etc. its really annoying as the disk is ok etc, has anybody else had this problem and managed to solve it its really pissing me off. Thanks in advance Paul Knox.

Yeah- i think from memory i changed the install path to one which had long filenames... i wanted to stick in program files... didn't work, . so i used the default. I assume it hated the long file names, but maybe even changing the default installation directory causes headaches. Z.

i had same problem talked to ea for half hour long distanse and they couldnt figure ot either! so i returned the damn thing

I did finally get the game running after 3 installs. I used the default installation. However, once i got into the game i had to change to the primary display driver in the options menu. I also had to uncheck the force feedback option in the controller menu. Once I did that the game ran nice and smooth. I have ICR2, FIGP, and mscart. I think Andretti racing actually has better graphics than those sims. My system is a 180mmx, 64mb ram, Viper 330 and Monster 3D. I was about to give up and return the game but for some reason it decided to install and now all is well. The game is definetely an arcade racer but if you like easy car setups and near 3dfx graphics then this is'nt a bad racing game. That's If you can get past the initial installation.

I had this problem too, tried re-installing it, changing drive letters, ect, and never got it to work. I eventually took it back and traded it for Indy Car Racing II !
