Hi I can not get the Nascar2 setup to run on my machine. It installs and passes all the checks Sound, Graphics etc. but when the setup program runs to set the sound all I get is is message "unable to begin VGA graphics mode" type "n2" to run NASCAR racing 2 When I run the program the video runs at the start with sound, but when the game starts no sound :-((( I have loads of other games and programs on my computer (Indycar 2, Grand Prix 2 even nascar 1) all run with no problem. Anybody any ideas??? System - P133, 32 Mb ram, 2Mb IGS 1682 PCI graphic, soundblaster 16 PnP soundcard. P.S. Have tried clean boot etc. From Dos & win 95. ~~~~~~~~ Julian White ~~~~~~~~~ http://www.pncl.co.uk/subs/julianw/list.html ~~~~~ The Original Rock List Web Site ~~~~~

I have a SoundBlaster 16 sound card and found that in DOS mode I must have the following line in my Autoexec.bat file in order to get sound in Nascar2 C:\VIBRA16\DIAGNOSE /S (my sound card files are located in the C:\VIBRA16 directory. Yours may be elsewhere)

The problem was that the setup program did not recognise my IGS Graphics card!!! so setup would not run. I've now installed a basic 2Mb GrafixStar card and everything works fine now. Good job Sierra were able to help -- NOT :-)) ~~~~~~~~ Julian White ~~~~~~~~~ http://www.pncl.co.uk/subs/julianw/list.html ~~~~~ The Original Rock List Web Site ~~~~~
