Nascar 4 won't start

Hiall, i've got a major probem with N4. It just doesn't start. It shows the intro, then the splash screen with the version number on the lower right corner, but then it kicks me back to desktop.And yes,i've got N4 patched and fixed. My config: Win 98 SE 2000+ Athlon Geforce 2MX400 VIA chipset/Sound omboard. DirectX 9 Any ideas on what to do? Cheers! Cris

Do you see the spinning cdrom icon as it loads the intro? That is the copy protection. Have you tried using a no cd .exe? Onboard sound can sometimes cause problems. Try disabling your sound and then booting the sim. dh
