I have purchased Nascar Racing 2002 Season, but the sound does not
play properly. Everything appears to be working accept my own car
sound. It does not accelerate, but rather will only produce a full
revs sound regardless of what speed or revs you are doing.
My basic system specs are:
Toshiba Laptop
- 1.6 P4
- 256 RAM
- Yamaha Sound card (AC-XG)
- GeForce 4 video card (16 Mb)
I know the game requires a 32Mb video card, but I have other games
that require a 32Mb video card (like Nascar Thunder 2003) and they run
perfectly.
Any ideas?
NOTE: My computer knowledge extends to switching the thing on and
hoping it works, so any responses would need to be in layman terms!

Laptops are slowly getting the performance to run newer games but the 16
meg vid card is definately a possible culprit.
first a few simple questions. Have you patched N2k2? Have you installed
directX 8.1? Are your video drivers up to date?
Next I would go into N2k2 and choose options. Pick sound and move the
slider left to reduce the # of sounds played. Then go to graphics and cut
back some of the detail, and some of the # of cars shown.
I don't have any laptop experience so a real fix will probably have to
come from somebody else.

I think maybe his laptop would have came with Windows XP, which should have
DirectX 8.1 default. I have a Dell P3 -1.0G with a Geforce2 Go 32MB video
card, using a Crystal Sound chip, and I can run Nascar 2002 pretty well on
it.
One other thing he may need to try is unchecking the 3D sound box in the
options of the Nascar2002 game.

a) have tried changing the graphics options to minimum on everything
and cutting back the sound options - no success
b) searched for up to date sound card drivers - found one that matched
my sound card but it was for Windows XP, not 2000 and didn't update
c) didn't think to look for video card drivers - where's the best
place?
I am determined not to let this beat me!!!!!!
Thanks again for any assistance.
