NASCAR under NT 4.0?

Has anyone been able to get the original NASCAR game to run under NT 4.0? If so, please post instructions on doing so. Thanks! Visit Spyder's NASCAR Racing web page [link lost in import: /~spyder/nascar.html]

Not true my friend, I have Nt 4.0 at work and can run N1 in dos on it. I have my computer set up with a boot option when I power on. I can boot straight to dos or choose to load NT. It works fine for me. Later, Neal

Um... he was refering to running N2 from within NT 4.0, not rebooting to DOS. -- http://ebusch.akorn.net

And no you didn't answer the question my friend, that guy asked if you can run in in NT, not DOS >> >Has anyone been able to get the original NASCAR game to run under NT 4.0? If

It works fine for me. I guess by that logic that it runs under OS/2 and Linux... ---Jim NB: No, it doesn't; don't ask about how to do it. What kyer is doing is booting to DOS and then running the game. The fact that NT4.0 happens to be on the machine is utterly irrelevant. It's still DOS that you are booting to.

Actually he was refering to Nascar1 from within NT, but nevertheless, you can't do either.

I thought he did answer the question.

Nope. He suggested booting to DOS, while the original question was whether you could play N2 from within WinNT 4.0 (like you can in a Win95 full-screen DOS Box), but it just isn't possible. -- http://ebusch.akorn.net

Exactly, I asked some time ago about N2 and ICR2 and GP2 in NT 4.0, and never got a clear reply. Any real NT user has thier drive formatted NTFS, so dual boot is not an option. I still haven't found out if any of these games will work well in NT 4.0, but if anyone has an answer, please let me know. Craig Marcho http://members.aol.com/cmarcho/

As for "real users" and NTFS, NTFS is better than any of the FAT flavors, but if it prevents one from using the computer for something they'd like to do, it don't sound so smart to me. NTFS is on a partition by partition basis anyway. One could have multiple partitions on a single fixed disk and run NTFS on one and FAT/vFAT on another (and possibly ext2fs on another) and multi-boot. ---Jim

All three of these access hardware directly, NT does not have a means of allowing this. -- **************************** Michael E.
