Have you done any customizing of the layout.dat? Try doing a fresh
install of N2 and see if the patch will run.

First you need to take some Prozac. Second, did you do a complete
installation?

First, don't write in all capital letter. Second, you must have the complete
install of n2, and then install patch 1.00 to 1.02, and after that, install
patch 1.02 to 1.03. Hope that'll solve your problems.

Like everyone else said, try using a "fresh" installation of N2. (you
can save and zip your settings and car file before you delete the old
stuff)
Believe it or not, I actually had to use a patch labeled for 1.00 on
version 1.01 for it to work. Maybe you should try using the "other"
patch files

If you have changed any files by adding custom***pits to the layout.dat
file it will not patch. Just copy the original layout.dat file off the cd
and overwrite the existing one or backup the existing one to restore after
the patch is done.

No, first he needs to turn off his caps lock, then take the prozac...
actually Lithium or Ativan may be more helpful.
Then a complete fresh installation... then the patch...
Alex, do you have the compbined patches or have you downloaded one of the
1.0 to 1.02 or 1.01 to 1.02 which then need 1.02 to 1.03 applied?
There are many intricacies to this, but IF you read the instructions its a
pretty simple process. Just do a clean, complete install and get the proper,
matching patch(es) to start with... then take your time. If you read the
patches readme.txt files there is little you could do to***it up unless
you have the intellect of a.. well, lets not go there.
It probably took you longer to post your message to the newsgroup than it
would have to read about the patches.
