Indycar 2 Problem :(

Hi there, Just dug up this game after years of not playing it (IE was married!) I've installed all the relevent patches, but what happens to my game is that when I leave the pits the screen freezes - although the sound continues??? Can anybody suggest anything to help please? My system is Duron 1ghz 256 Ram GeForce2 32mb It used to work in my old K6/2 - 500mhz with same graphics card. cheers Greg

Can anybody suggest anything to help please? Get married again...? :-) Does it lock as soon as you start moving, or just after you leave pit road?

Sure you remembered to set up the pedals as single axis for this one .Although the lockup while sound continues seems like a graphics card/monitor issue, my copy of Windy has never been uninstalled and still runs as well as it ever did ( hehe , ok ).W98 latest dx Brilliant on 2 player lan ,esp at nazareth and michigan.

I've now tried using keys, but the same happens. I move for about 2secs then the problem occurs. Tried different graphics drivers etc....... The DOS version runs fine, but with no-sound.

Back in the good ol days, they only coded for a small amount of changes, saved programming and debugging and since 9/10ths of all soundcards installed to irq 5 or 7 that wasn't a problem. Windows, however with plug and play, will mix and match irq's with little regard to conflicts. Try messing with device manager to see if you can re-assign the SB emulator to irq 5. good luck dave henrie

The DOS version runs fine, but with no-sound. Tried VDMSound? http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound -- Fester There is a better way, for the enlightened. http://www.racun.tk/

I thought it was a DOS game running in a Windows shell?... in which case ( and I tell you it seems like only yesterday) I seem to remember you had to figure out the SB dos emulators in and out stuff in Device manager and then use the dos sound configuration tool which came with the game to choose the right ones , only then would you hear the throaty rumble of a good old V8! (But then it's been installed so long I don't remember doing it! Except for the throaty rumble of the V8 that is .) Wow ! As you say plug and play :-) jv "Al Ford" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I've now tried using keys, but the same happens. I move for about > 2secs then the problem occurs.

GPL will run nicely on that config, provided you don't go wild on add-ons (4-bit/"medium" versions of tracks and JF carset should work though). Not saying ICR2 is not an amazing piece of code, because it is, but things have moved on and, if anything, GPL will stop you from repeating the marriage mistake. Jan. =---

I've got GPL - that game is so cool, but just want a pick up and play a game sometimes.
