INSTALL Issues
Poor install performance and Outlook 98
Symptom
When I run Setup.exe on my system, which has Microsoft Outlook™ 98 running
and is connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server, the setup initialization reache
s 99%, but then nothing happens. If I wait a long time, the first dialog box app
ears and the installation proceeds normally.
Cause
This problem occurs due to some timing issues between Setup.exe and the Microsof
t Exchange Server.
Workaround
Close Outlook 98 before running Setup.exe. Generally, you should not have any ot
her applications running when you run an installation.
Crash while installing when using Browse on Netware Networks

Symptom
On any PC with Client32 installed and connected to the network, clicking "browse
" during the install to select a different directory to install to will cause th
e installer to crash.
Cause
This problem happens only on some systems running Client for NetWare Networks. I
t is due to a bug in Nwnp32.dll that affects programs that display the 16-bit st
yle open file common dialog box. In InstallShield installation authoring product
s, it affects all dialogs that contain a Browse button (AskDestPath, AskPath, Co
mponentDialog, EnterDisk, SdAskDestPath, SdComponentDialog, SdComponentDialogAdv
, and SdSetupType).
Resolution
A fix is available on Microsoft s Web site at http://support.microsoft.com/support
/kb/articles/q192/2/49.asp.
Note:
This information only applies to the English version of Windows 98. Contact Micr
osoft for the Japanese and German versions of this DLL.
Workaround
Prior to the availability of the fix, some InstallShield customers reported that
taking the following actions enabled them to work around the problem:
- Connect to a bindery server, instead of using NDS (NetWare Directory Services)
.
- Do not map any network drives (including through the logon script).
- Do not log on to the network.
- Use a custom dialog to prompt for the path.
- Use the AskPath dialog and type the path into the edit field, instead of brows
ing to it.
- Install and use NetWare network client software from Novell, instead of the ex
isting Client for NetWare Networks.

Car Settings - Gear Ratios
Gear Ratios can only be changed on Race Cars (ie: 550 Spyder, 935 and GT1) in al
l other cars the gear ratio cannot be changed.

Alt-Tab Problems
The use of Alt-Tab to minimize the game during multiplayer Comms games may disco
nnect you from the game.
When returning to a game that was minimized with Alt-Tab, you may experience pau
ses or temporary graphic corruption.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Audio Delay
If you are using a Sound Card that does not have current Direct X driver support
you may experience slight delays in audio playback.

Attention NVIDIA GeForce256 and NVIDIA Quadro users:

NFS:PU does not support the GeForce and Quadro cards on some Intel i820 motherbo
ards and on some Gigabyte GA-7IX Athlon systems. This is due to a bug in the NV
IDIA drivers; the bug symptom is extremely low framerate. The 5.x driver series
from NVIDIA (which are due to be released soon) fix the problems with i820 and
Gigabyte GA-7IX Athlon configurations.
Until the 5.x drivers are released, or if you experience lockups or stability pr
oblems in general, we recommend you use the 3.77 drivers (provided by NVIDIA) wh
ich can found on this CD in the
Drivers\NVIDIA\GeForce256 & Quadro directory.
Please contact NVIDIA (http://www.nvidia.com) or your board vendor for more inf
ormation and release dates for future drivers based on the NVIDIA 5.x series.
The latest NVIDIA drivers can be found at: http://www.nvidia.com/Products.nsf/h

Pentium Pro and Voodoo 2 Cards
For users with Pentium Pro machines and Voodoo2 video cards: if the game is not

o your shortcut's Target: line, following Porsche.exe. Eg. "C:\Electronic Arts
\Need For Speed Unleashed\Porsche.exe driver=voodoo2z"
