NO cd patch for nascar 4 (32 bit error)

[southrk]

I currently found a patch to play nascar 4 without the cd, but the problem is, when i go to run the game after i install the patch, it gives me an error saying "this file is not a valid 32 bit system program" or something to this nature. does anyone know what this means?

What O/S are you running?

i am on Windows 2000 professional.

That might be your problem - windows 2000 is based on NT technology NT runs a 32 bit system instead of the 16bit systems used in 98etc - the game probably isn't compatible with the OS switch to 98 or something that should fix it....

That might be the problem, or the patch could have corrupted the exe file.

Hopefully this patch is for a backup copy of the game, pcmech is not a place for warez disscussion.

yes, i own the game, bought it retail 49.99, i just get tired of having the cd's in the drive, so i find all the cracks i can.
