Installing and Configuring NASCAR Under Windows 95
This application requires MS-DOS Mode to function. In order to do this, modify the settings, which are created after running the installation program, to include the necessary drivers. If NASCAR is installed using the Add/Remove Programs feature in Control Panel, Windows configures the application with the settings it feels are necessary to make the game function properly. The rest of this article explains how to install the program and change the configuration.
To Install NASCAR:
- Click on Start, choose Settings and open Control Panel.
- Click on Add/Remove Programs.
- The Add/Remove Programs wizard does not locate the Install.exe file on this CD. Choose Browse to locate the file.
- Select the CDROM drive letter from the toolbar.
- Double click on the NASCAR folder.
- Double click Install.exe.
- Choose Finish to start the installation.
- Select a drive and directory in which to install the application and press Enter.
- Decide on either a CD-ROM installation or a Hard Drive installation. A hard drive installation will require much more space but will run faster on slower machines.
- After the program installs the files, the Setup screen appears and the sound card must be setup. Choose Sound Blaster 16 Stereo for the digital card and Sound Blaster AWE32 for the MIDI portion of the card. These settings work for most Gateway 2000 sound cards.
- This completes the installation program.

- In order for NASCAR to properly operate, changes must be made to the MS-DOS mode configuration. To make these changes, perform the following steps.
- Secondary Click on the My Computer icon and choose Explore.
- Double click the drive letter on which the application was installed.
- Double click on the directory it was installed in. The default is NASCAR.
- Find the executable (click view, then details) and look for the word application on the right side.
- Secondary click the file then click Properties.
- Choose the Program tab and then click on the Advanced button.
- Click on MS-DOS mode and then Specify a new MS-DOS configuration and add these lines:
Config.sys
dos=high,umb
device=c:\windows\himem.sys
devicehigh=c:\windows\emm386.exe
devicehigh=c:\mtm\mtmcdai.sys /d:mscd001
(This will vary depending on the brand of your CD-ROM drive, the line can be copied from the config.dos file.)devicehigh=c:\plugplay\drivers\dos\dwcfgmg.sysNote: The line listed below must be here if Plug-n-Play cards are installed, otherwise it is not needed.
Autoexec.bat
set tmp=c:\windows\temp
set temp=c:\windows\temp
set prompt=$p$g
set winbootdir=c:\windows
set path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command
set blaster=a220 i5 d1 h5 p330 t6*
(The set blaster line should be copied from the autoexec.dos file, it depends on your specific hardware settings)lh C:\windows\command\mscdex /d:mscd001
Note: A mouse driver can be added if a mouse is preferred, instead of the keyboard or a joystick.- There is now a DOS icon in the directory, which can be placed on the desktop for convenience. Simply drag the icon from the explorer and drop it on the desktop.
