Not necessary. I run Nascar Heat with many mods under winXP. The windows 2000 "error" shows up all the time, just OK it, and everything should work. For mods, make sure that the shortcut icon points to "nheat.exe" not "nascar heat.exe". I've had to manually edit some mod shortcuts to do this. Also if you have a "data" folder inside the Nascar Heat folder, rename it to "run". If you have both a run, and data folder, move the contents of the data folder into run, and delete the data folder. cheers John
