trouble with icr2 in W95

Hey, I downloaded the patch to upgrae ICR2 (or whatever its called now) to win 95, and all the appropiate patchs, and I keep getting a KERNEL32.DLL error. I have direct draw turned off. Everthing else works untill I start the race, when I get the affored mentioned KERNEL32.DLL error. I have a P75, 24 megs, no 3dx card. Any one else have this problem, and more importantly, any one know how to fix it? Jeff....

It always crashed on me (though I was lucky enough to get my patch to allow me to race on the track). Also the performance hit it takes is too high (especially for your system). On a P75, stick with the pure DOS version. -- **************************** Michael E.

I agree with Michael's assesment of ICR2's poor Win95 performance; DOS is the way to go. Also, make sure you have the Win95 service pack installed. You can download the update at [link lost in import] Cheers! Marc

Try turning off direct sound instead direct draw, that did the trick for me. Marc Starmans

Your right, that did the trick. Thanks. Now I have to figure if I want to have the patch, or just stick with the dos version. But at least I have the choice.... ....Jeff
