HEPL!!! I have the installed the NASCAR racing on my newly upgraded 166 MMX Pentium. The problem is the joystick does not work with this game or any othe game that it worked with in the past. Do I need a newer joystick? I hve tried both of the joysticks I havve had for about 5 years. Any Ideas???

Jim, If your talking about Nascar2, there is a joystick patch at the Sierra site. Worked great for me. http://www.sierra.com All the best, Mike -- Michael S.

Most DOS games will need to read the joystick via I/O 201-201 and some soundcards won't turn on this I/O until they are properly setup via either the config.sys or autoexec.bat file. Are you using the same soundcard from you old machine? Try moving it to a different slot on your motherboard. -- **************************** Michael E.

I searched and searched Sierra's site but could not find any link to a patch for joysticks. Do you remember where it was exactly? Or have a link to it? Thanks SS
