N2 Running Problems

This is really weird. I can't get N2 (with all of the patches) to run. I've configured everything, installed the latest DirectX stuff, but damnit after I've selected a race to run, it crashes, and returns me to Win95. Any ideas?

Give this a try: check to make sure a driver's list is selected on the Driver Info page. Has happened to me before. If not--?

Yup. I completely forgot about clearing out the /cars directory and installing the Iwcccars set. Thanks a bunch, eh? Andy Backa The only skills I have the patience to learn are - Calvin and Hobbes Chewey Pages: Looking for a new home

I have been unable to install the Pits Touring car patch V2.01 successfully, and I wonder if it is related to the problem below ? Here's what I have done :- Did full install of N2 (v1.01). Added the 2 fantasy tracks and the converted ICR2 tracks. Patched to v1.02. Patched to v1.03. Checked it all worked so far. It did. Unzipped the Touring car cars into the /cars directory. Installed and ran the Pits TCC patch. It looked as though it was happy - no unfound or not changed files. Now when I run N2 (in DOS mode I should add) the movie appears, then the Papyrus/Pits screen, then a register dump appears and the PC re-boots and restarts Windows 95. It never gets as far as the Single Race/OPtions/Exit screen. Any ideas as to what this might be ? I notice from below that the original cars were deleted first, do I need to do that before unzipping the Pits TCC cars ? Does this sound like the "too many tracks" problem - is this how it shows itself (even though it all worked after the two Papy patches) ? Any help appreciated.

FWIW, I installed TPTCC in a complete separate version of N2. I then stripped the unused Tracks and Car sets. I haven't had any hint of any problems. Tim
