Anyway, is there any way to fix this? Is it my computer or the >;>game? Do I need a patch or something? Interesting this - I had the same problem with both Nascar and Indycar. I posted numerous messages on Compuserve, both with Papyrus, thinking it was a bug in the programme, and Matrox, my video card manufacturer, thinking there was an incompatability problem with the DOS4GW programme and the video BIOS. Many many weeks later and corresponding with other users with the same problem which hadn't been solved, I gave up. Shortly after I 'upgraded' to OS/2 Warp. And guess what - the problems went away. Both games run fine ina full dos window. No more aborts and there's no speed problems. Would suggest however that you try to 'borrow' a copy of OS/2 Warp first to see if that works. It's a bit expensive just to cure a games problem and Windows programs definitely run slower. Alan ... All I need is a Wave and a board to surf it on. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12
