ICR2 mouse emm386 lockups

I am running CART racing (ICR2) rendition version with a Stealth 220. I have a multi-boot setup for WIN95 so I run in DOS mode without going into Windows (but not operating in DOS). I have used v2dosfix to get CART to recognize the Stealth but have not fooled around with sp3d.uc at all. It runs well in terms of graphics but I get lockups if I pause the game or loiter in the menus. Is there a fix for this? To use the newer sp3d.uc, do I really have to boot dos multiple times to swap sp3d.uc's? Second question. I have deleted all references to EMM386 in autoexec.bat. Does this game do better without EMM386? Last question: When I try to run the paintkit, it does not recognize my mouse even though I am loading the driver. I hate to leave the windows version of CART on my drive just to run Paintkit in windows. Anybody have any thoughts or ideas? TIA Otto Matheke

ICR2-3D has always had a tendancy to lock after entering a track, and then exiting to select another...Is the game locking when loading and NOT selecting race, etc.? I run emm386 both straight and with the NOEMS switch with no problem. However, when running with emm386 (or some other memory manager installed), memory may become fragmented. ICR2-3D may run slower in fragmented memory, so you might want to leave emm386 out. Run the paintkit in a DOS box from within Win95...Your mouse drivers will remain loaded, and you can paint to your heart's content. =) Cheers! Marc -- Marc J.
