On my Dell, which has an STB Velocity 128 card (with 4 meg of ram), launching N2 puts my monitor to low-power mode, and the program itself appears to be frozen, and I have to kill N2 with the task manager. Any ideas how to get N2 to work? I worked fine on my old computer. I am running it through win95- but that wasn't a problem before. Please post here- thanks

Reinstall N2 without the univbe driver. That's what worked for me at least. R. Faust aka Xducer

From sierra tech support bulletin boardt: We have found on the Riva128 based video cards, when these cards switch to the vesa 2.0 mode, the card sets the refresh rate to an frequency that no monitor can support. The best way that we have been able to get the game to run is to run the game in DOS mode without the intro. If you do not have all of you drivers loading for DOS, you may need to contact the computer manufacturer to get the drivers loaded for the CD Rom, the sound card and the mouse. Then, install the game in DOS mode and run the game without the intro. To run the game without the intro file, run the nascar2.exe instead of the n2.bat. Please let me know if you have any further problems. P
