Can anyone share experiences relating to getting NASCAR Racing
to run under Windows 95?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have both NT 3.5 and Windows 95 on my pc. NASCAR -h runs flawlessly when I
boot up in Windows 95. However, I have never been able to get it to run using
NT. For what it's worth, I'm using an AT&T Globalyst 600 Pentium 90, 32 mb
memory. If Windows95 can run NASCAR, then it should be able to run just about
anything.

I have been running it under Windows 95 for about 2 months. You have to
run it
in MS-DOS mode (which has to reboot the computer when you are done),
but it
works fine and it seems as fast through Windows 95 as it was before
under DOS
alone! I didn't have to do anything fancy (just create a shortcut to
nascar.exe and check the MS-DOS mode box in the properties option). If
you
don't check the MS-DOS mode box, it will still run (in EGA mode) but it
will
be slow because it is still multi-tasking the other Windows programs.

Jeffrey,
I've been running NASCAR Racing on the last two Windows95 beta's with no
problems. I chose the "suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary" option under
Program/Advanced in the properties with full screen mode and have
eliminated the problem with rebooting (saves time starting and exiting the
program). This has resulted in no performance loss with the high resolution
mode (Pentium90, 32MB ram, 2MB video for comparison purposes).
Also, the Thrustmaster Formula T1 drivewheel and pedals is highly
recommended for any NASCAR Racing enthusiast (a serious investment, but a
worthwhile one) -- after testing mine, my dad and an uncle each had one for
their computer within a week.
Hope this helps,
BH
I was interested in best laps at Darlington. It seems with Nascar 1.2, the
track is faster than before. I can't remember if that was one of the tracks
they mentioned to treat as being resurfaced.
Thanks.

IndyCar Racing II will be released during Q4 of 1995. Since Q4 runs from
10/1-12/31, winter starts on 12/21 (or is it 12/22?), and we want to have
significant Christmas sales, I would say it is a safe bet that it will be
released in the fall :-).
