Has anyone had any luck getting any Sierra or Sierra Sports title to
work thru Win 98. I know there is a problem with GPL Demo and N2, but
I get a "integer divided by zero " when I try to install FPS Golf. Is
there a fix to any of these. I know about the GPL fix and it didn't
work for me. I would be willing to go back to Win95 but does anyone
know the best way of doing it.?
You know there is a problem running Nascar2 with W98?
Very funny. I just got done running several laps at Michigan.
There may be a problem with *YOU* getting Nascar2 to run
in W98, but since it worked for me I suspect it is not a problem
with the game. This is even with using FAT32.
I ran it from windows without rebooting. Just make sure the
Advanced Program Properties has every box unchecked and
the default screen mode is FULL. I have a P5-200MMX and
it is a very high framerate with full detail.

My Nascar 2 even picked up a couple frames per sec under Win 98. My
resident geek said it has something to do with a new dos interface for
windows.
Good luck to the originator of this thread. Just wanted to let you know
that N2 has no inherent Win 98 problem.

Hello,
Go to Start, Programs, and click MS-DOS Prompt.
At the C:\WINDOWS> prompt type DEL SIERRA.INI and press ENTER
Type EXIT and press ENTER
Restart your computer.
Start the installer for N2. When the installer prompts to test your
system, say NO. The next screen will show that your system has failed
some tests, ignore this and continue with the installation. The game
will install fine at that point.
The next thing you will want to do is to download and install the
CORRECT drivers for your sound and video cards, as the ones that
Windows 98 installs aren't always quite right.
Good luck!
Chris
