I wonder if uninstalling Nascar Heat, and then reinstalling it in the program file, if that would make it run better seeins how N Heat is a 32 bit game.

Well let me just say this,.. my Logitech gaming software profiler would not work in the program file (x86) It would'nt read my MoMo wheel, it said there was no device pluged in, and it was pluged in,.. but when I downloaded the updated version of the Logitech gaming software profiler, It downloaded it into the program file,..and now it works like a champ,.I dont know,..I'm just trying to think logicly. :idea :idea

yes it was updated to run on windows vista and windows 7,...But what I dont get is why did it load it into the old program file,..theres got to be somthing to that,..I'm just not sure what it is. What is it between the two programs,..I dont know,..but I keep trying different things,..and sometimes it works and sometimes it don'nt,..but thats because I dont know Jack shit about computers and how they run,..I just read what the window says and try to appliy logic,.I realy hoped that this new computer would solve all the problems I was having before,..but all it did was make more problems,..Damb!!! I wish I could just get in there and race and not have to worry about all this crap.

You're overthinking things, Russ. Making it more complicated that what it is.

The update profiler program is most likely a 64 bit program, hense why it installed into the Program Files folder...

However I agree with bover you are making this more complicated than it is..
