Craig, wasn't Whiplash/Fatal Racing a DOS game? So shouldn't you try in TRUE DOS first? Anyhow, ditch WinMe as FAST as you can. Win98SE is much better if you must use a Win9x-based OS.
It was a DOS game, but that shouldn't make any odds, as I've totally unlocked DOS for WinME.
And every other DOS Glide game works a treat, some with the Voodoo2.
I'm not ditching WinME, not by any means.
I build PC systems for a living, and have spent about 6 solid months on WinME. Working with a few people on the web, and a few friends near me. And together we have made possibly THE most stable WinME ever !!
I kid you not, it walks rings around Win98. And anyone will tell you that WinME DID have a few features that put it above Win98.
Once you've installed WinME without ACPI (setup /p i), removed system restore, PC health, Win management, Unlocked DOS, changed many system.ini mem settings like ..
PageBuffers=32
MinPagingFileSize=524288
MaxPagingFileSize=524288
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
MinSPs=4
DMABufferSize=64
32BitDiskAccess=ON
PerVMFiles=170
MinTimeSlice=40
LocalLoadHigh=1
Tons of stuff. It took 6 months (jobs + family + commitments getting in the way) in total using Norton Ghost as a backup and restore tool.
It's not 100%, and still can be brought down by a rogue program, especially ones that overlap memory address spaces without asking. It doesn't like NForce2 motherboards, due to the fact that NVidia haven't bothered to write IDE drivers. But that affects Win9x in total.
Back to topic, and still no joy.
Anyone care to post up a complete batch file they are using, exactly as you are using. And also the EXACT drivers you have installed with your V2.
