Is there anything OTHER than reinstalling N3 (without patch) that I can do to stop the 'init error' I get when I try to launch? Sometimes I can't run the game after dozens of tries. Seems like a fluke when I do get it to run. Anyone?

Make sure you are running the latest patch. Each of the BETA patches are time-bombed, so they will not work after a certain date. Or....turn you clock back on your machine. Hope that helps, -/- Walk Walker

there's a telling line in your post do a ctrl+alt+del and see is a rogue instance of Nascar3 is running in the background...that will also create the problem you described On Wed, 26 Jan 2000 10:29:54 -0500, "Walk Walker"

Another thread dealt with this topic also. The init error is because your current beta patch is out-dated. go back to sierra and get the latest patch. If it still doesn't work, Eric Busch recomended to check and make sure your system date is set properly. If that all fails head to the beta forum and ask the severhelp. dave henrie > Is there anything OTHER than reinstalling N3 (without patch) that I can do > to stop the 'init error' I get when I try to launch?
