I have NFS2 on a Pentium computer with a 2D card and everything is fine. However, I just picked up a new Pentium II today and I am having a wierd problem. At every option menu, the choices scroll wildly and it is hard to make a selection. Here's what I have:- Pentium II 266 64 MB RAM Soundblaster AWE 64 soundcard Diamond Viper V330 graphics card MS Sidewinder Pro Joystick I did install DirectX 5 prior to installing NFS2, just like I did for the Pentium. Just a note. I do not have the computer right now. I had to take it back because they did not install the specific brand hard drive that I asked for. I should have the new system back on Tuesday. Could you please email me a courtesy copy of any posted response since my newsserver is kinda flaky sometimes? Thanks in advance, Dan

I had a similar problem when I first started playing NFSIISE. In my case it was because my joystick's center position under Win95 was "jumpy" and was scrolling the menues and also made it so you couldn't watch the videos of the cars. The lastest patch of NFSIISE fixed this condition, so you might want to make sure you have the latest patch installed (if there is one). I'm not sure if this is the same for NFSII, but that's how my problem was fixed.

I had this happen when I was messing around with the joystick calibration. Make sure you calibrate the joystick correctly, (TM Propanel is good) before running the game. Good Luck Mike ~~~~
