hi Dos Freak

i am just on the fourm looking around and stuff. Also trying to figure out what linux i should try because i want to try to learn linux.

How you doing?

also i sure wish i could get my nascar revoultion working on win2k but hey i cant even get the game working on win98SE anymore which is sad.

must be my video card drivers or something.

cause i have a voodoo 3 2000 pci video card for now but soon will get a new one i hope but for now its fine. Would love a geforce 3 hehe i think

 

 

i hope right before windows xp comes out MS releases a really good compat update for windows xp or whatever so my nascar revoultion will work hehe!

What error do you get? I don't have the game but have you tried the fixes in the Whistler Application Compatibility Toolkit?

[imtim83 0]

i dont get any error. It installs the game without anything i use but the game just doesnt startup ever.

like i double click on the game icon and it asks me direct x or opengl i tried both and neither worked. All it did was blink the screen like went to a black screen and back to my desktop.

i tried those Whistler Application Compatibility Toolkit that you have posted before which are very nice i think but it didnt work on the game.

i tried each fix. Tried everything just about i think

 

and thank you for the reply on linux.

for some reason mandrake 8.0 linux didnt like my computer the last time i installed it because it froze overnight on the screen.

i guess its my proview 860 montior which is supported really or my hardware.

 

i got a abit KT7A raid mobo

duron 800mhz

256 mb of sdram pc133 cas 2

voodoo 3 2000 pci

45 gig maxtor 7200 rpm ATA 100 < 8.7 ms seek time

etc .

I had problems with the install freezing when installing to an HD that was SLAVE to another Ide. Make sure your installing to primary.

 

You could also try the newest ver of Redhat. It's 4cd's tho if you want all the stuff. But the install is pretty cool and about as neat looking as Mandrake's.

[imtim83 0]

why not slackware 7.1?

i hear it does what you tell it to do. Very stable

but i do know its pretty hard

[DosFreak 2]

Well it's pretty bare in the applications that it has. Redhat/Mandrake include ALOT of different programs that can introduce ya to what's out there. Plus they are alot more informative.

 

heh. A linux kernel on a floppy is small and does what you want it to do too but it isn't going to teach you much.

dos freak can we chat on aim or icq ?

or you dont use them

you can email me at imtim83@home.com

Yeah, this method of talking is pretty slow. Unfortunately no ICQ/AIM for me. Could do email tho.
