I had the same problem, but there is a quick fix for this!


Just get the 3dconfig.exe file from Nascar thunder 2004.( If you dont have the game, download the game demo. )

Then rename 3dconfig,exr to 3dsetup.exe and place it in the Nascar Simracing directory and it will work perfectly.

Thank's yankee i will try that asap!

One thing that I'm still having problems with is the telemetry settings. Everytime I choose that, I get an error :-( . Either Thunder 2004 doesnt have Telemetry in it or this game just want meant for Vista.

Btw I checked around and this is indeed a Vista only problem, so if you an old XP partition, use that instead

A perfect example of why NOT to upgrade to windows Vista. The way things are going i wouldn't be surprised to see a windows XP second edition.

Well this really doesn't belong in this topic, but it is not Microsofts responsibilty to make sure Nvidia's drivers work or not nor does need legacy support(although they keep beefing it up)....

A year from now when Vista will be patched and fully supported there will be two kinds of people in the world;

1. People who knew this was going to happen
2. People who will still be running nt kernals

Hello,

I have tried for a month to get EA Nascar SimRacing to work on my notebook with Vista Home Premium. I have searched high and low for a driver update that is compatible with my Nvidia Geforce Go 7400 card on my notebook. Yesterday, I finally got it to work with no problems. Make sure you have the EA Nascar SimRacing update v1.029 installed first, and that you replace the 3DSetup file in the program folder with the one from Nascar Thunder 2004.

Here is what I did:

1. Went to http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/...p?showforum=72
2. Downloaded the v163.74 Vista 32 bit driver update
3. ALSO downloaded the Modded INF file
4. Setup a new folder on my desktop (I called it "Nascar")..LOL
5. Extracted the self extracting "16374_vista" into the Nascar folder on my desktop.
6. Replaced the "nv_disp" file in this folder with the one I downloaded (drag & drop, then say yes to replace the older file already there)
7. Ran "Setup" out of this folder to install the updated driver
8. Restarted the computer after being prompted to.
9. Ran "3DSetup" from the Nascar Simracing program file to set display options for the game
10. Started the game normally, and it has worked for over 24 hours without an issue.

I have tried all of the tracks, and no problems. I hope this helps some of you who have also suffered frustration with this

thanks guys this work around did the trick in minutes. justed used the link last night and i raced for couple of hours with no hangs or crashes, the only thing that stumps me is the fact that i cant enable fullscreen antialias. Its hit and miss with which game it works on, that my experience anyways! This is the first sli rig ive built yet, so iam working everyday on it to get it set just right. have had good luck on vista ultimate! and home premium!

[speedman]

The statement (GripS) made i think applies to people that try to upgrade to vista from a rig that has older hardware or not vista certified hardware. i have a few friends here in okc. that had alot of problems with upgrading form an older xp rig. I guess the reason i did have any problems with both my rigs are that all is new and vista certified hardware.
