Nascar2 Startup

5 posts by 5 people · 06 Aug 1998 - 07 Aug 1998

I recently screwed up and had to re-install Nascar2. Now it won't start up without the cd. I did a full install. Any ideas on starting up without the cd? Where did I go wrong? Thanks Stan

Yeah, I've got one idea. Go to your notepad program in windows, the open up the n2.bat file and the line that has your drive letter in it, highlight the line and delete it. Save the file and open the n2rend.bat file and do the same proccess. Hopefully this will solve your problem.

I deleted all the rendition bat files to save space. Try getting rid of a file called smkply or something like that. This is the file that starts the movie intro from the CD. It's mentioned in the docs. Vic
Assuming you're running it thru DOS, there may be another way. Once I'm at DOS, and I've launched the game, immediately it DOS says there's a problem and "Abort Retry Fail?". Hit "F" and DOS will ignore the lack of CD and start the game. (That is IF you've done a full install.) Sure beats all the file hunting, changing, etc. Hope this helps. Andre Ming
