univbe.drv and ICR2

Problem: How do I install the univbe.drv (version 5.2)??? Actually I use version 5.1a. If I copy the new uvconfig.exe to my Indycar directory and use the setup program to install UNIVBE, I can`t start ICR2, because during the init phase I get the errormessage "wrong version". Please help me Thanx in advance Mike

Im not sure if this the wat to do it but it seems to work for me. Ive renamed the univbe.drv file in the ICR2 directory to univbe.bak and then I load univbe version 5.2 and then run IRC2. The frame rate increase is noticable Stuart

Just install the new UNIVBE TSR to load from your AUTOEXEC, and delete the UNIVBE.DRV from your IndycarII directory. Looks like ICR2 will use an existing VESA driver if it doesn't find one in its own directory. All the best James -- James Bevan NeXTMail & MIME welcome

Start Univbe 5.2 from your Autoexec.bat when you first boot up. ICR2 will use it rather than the version (5.0?) that comes with ICR2.

Just run UNIVBE 5.2 first, when ICR2 boots up(leave 5.1a installed as well in ICR2 setup), it still remains active in the background, thus you can take advantage of its increased speed over 5.1a and still use the linkable library!

Sorry for the typo - I meant version 1.21 (how the heck did I get the 1's and 2's inverted?)

I do it alot myself!

Mike. P.S. - NASCAR does't use the SCITECH linkable library so you don't have to worry about overriding 5.1a, just run plain old 5.2 on its own and boot up NASCAR 1.21 .It's too bad NASCAR couldn't make use of the linkable library, it rules! Indycar 2 flies with it!
