why do so many add-on tracks not work?

I saw one of the websites reccommended yesterday, so I went there and downloaded several tracks for N2003. Of the dozen tracks I tried, only dragonnett and Daytona in a can worked. Others, like stunt track, mission demo, Cumbica, Grand Detour and a few others wouldn't work. It would say not able to load track, cancelling weekend. I just extracted the folders into the tracks folder. Is there something missing from the folders, or is there a secret to installing them? Thanks.

I've run Stunt Track. I know that one works. You may have something else going on. Do you have the last NR2003 patch installed? -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

that did the trick. I must have forgotten to install it last time. Now everything works, except for Daytona 80 degrees. That one still kicks me back to the desktop. Thanks for the tip.

Daytona 80 degree's ? Good God man. -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

We have a binaries group. It's over-run with thieves, but we'll see it :) -larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Let me know if you get it to work. I can usually practice for a few laps, then it goes back to the desktop. If I try to start a race, it goes directly to the desktop as soon as I hit the DRIVE button.

It must have something to do with other cars on the track. I just ran a test session for over 12 minutes and it worked OK. Then I switched to single race, practice. As soon as another car gets on the track, I'm back to desktop.

I tried a download/combine and decode and it gave me.... nothing. I haven't done this in years. Am I doing something wrong? -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I see you're using Outlook express and I posted in yEnc. I'll post it again without yEnc, then you should get it.
